[5] Snead's last high school game was a 41–38 loss in the Texas 4A Division 1 State semi-finals against Dallas Highland Park.

[15] Head coach Mack Brown also had praise for Snead's performance coming off the bench, adding "If he plays in the game in two weeks, he'll be much more ready.

[20] McCoy played almost the entire game only to be injured with 20 seconds remaining by a late hit from Aggie defensive end Michael Bennett.

[22] In January 2007, Snead enrolled at the University of Mississippi to play for the Ole Miss Rebels under then-head coach Ed Orgeron.

[26] Through the first twelve games as the starter for the Ole Miss Rebels, Jevan Snead passed for 2470 yards, 23 Touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Just days after the Rebels defeated the Memphis Tigers in their first game of 2009, Snead was one of 22 football players who had contracted swine flu.

Entering his junior season at Ole Miss, Snead was considered a top-2 quarterback prospect (along with Sam Bradford) in the 2010 NFL draft, according to his former high school coach Chad Morris.

He was released on July 31, 2010, to make room on the 80-man training camp roster for newly signed first round draft pick Gerald McCoy.

[34] On August 24, 2010, Snead re-signed with Tampa Bay, after starting quarterback Josh Freeman suffered a thumb injury that sidelined him for the rest of the preseason.

[37] According to his former high school football coach, as of January 2015, Snead worked as an oil field supplies salesman in San Antonio, Texas.

[38][39] Snead had suffered dementia-like symptoms after his football career, unable to remember games he played at Ole Miss and even parts of his childhood.

This led him and his family to conclude that he was experiencing symptoms of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) caused by concussions suffered during his years of playing football.
