Brent Schaeffer was named the Rebels’ starting quarterback before he arrived in Oxford last August. But after a very bad 2006 season and so-so spring showing, he’s competing with former walk-on Seth Adams to hold on to the starting job. After spring practices were concluded, Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron acknowledged Adams has the edge. “(Adams) has a leg up on Brent right now,” he said. “Brent has had some good days and inconsistent days, and we’re keeping (the quarterback job) open.” Other prospects for the future QB position include redshirt freshman Michael Herrick and .Jevan Snead, a freshman who transferred to Ole Miss from Texas in December and must sit out the upcoming season, both saw action in the 2007 spring game. Freshman quarterback, Cliff Davis did not see any playing time during the spring game and has quit the team. Cliff Davis, redshirted in 2006, turned in his jersey after the fourth quarter of the spring game, calling in quits with Rebel football. Davis was a standout baseball and football player at Eupora High School in Mississippi who signed with Alabama in 2003 but changed his mind to play professional baseball with the Houston Astros. Davis joined the Rebels as a non-scholarship player with the Rebels as a Freshman quarterback.
I have seen Cliff play both football and baseball when he was in high school and he was a great athlete. Best of luck in the future, Cliff.
