Austin police are investigating the death of former Ole Miss quarterback Jevan Snead according to a report from the Austin American-Stateman.

The overnight death occurred in downtown Austin, and officials do not suspect foul play at this time. Snead was 32 years old.

Snead enrolled at Ole Miss in 2007 and led the Rebels to back-to-back Cotton Bowl appearances in 2008 and 2009. The Stephenville, Texas native has the 6th most total passing yards in Ole Miss history.

Snead’s most memorable game came against a No. 18 ranked LSU team in Baton Rouge in 2008. The quarterback passed for 247 yards and two touchdowns in the Rebels’ 31-13 upset on the road.
