OXFORD — Brent Schaeffer, who struggled much of last season as the Ole Miss quarterback, is now a wide receiver.

At least for now.

Schaeffer practiced at receiver Tuesday and will again today, offensive coordinator Dan Werner said this morning.

“He did a nice job,” Werner said. “We’ll see how he progresses and where he fits in.”

Asked if this is a permanent move, Werner said: “We’ll wait and see how he does.”

Schaeffer came to Ole Miss last year as a highly touted recruit from College of the Sequoias, a two-year school in California. Coach Ed Orgeron named him the Rebels’ starting quarterback before he was even cleared academically by the NCAA to compete, but Schaeffer struggled most of the 2006 season as the Rebels won four games and lost eight. Schaeffer started all 12 games. He completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes (115 of 244) and threw more interceptions (10) than touchdown passes (nine).

At the end of the year, Schaeffer was taken out of several games and replaced by Seth Adams, a walk-on.

When spring practice began, Orgeron announced that the QB job was up for grabs, and Adams emerged from the spring as the leader at the position.

Adams continues to be the leader during fall practices but Orgeron has not named a starter for the Sept. 1 opener against Memphis. Michael Herrick, a redshirt freshman, is battling Adams for the starting spot.

Use a walk-on as starting quarterback? WOW!

:lol: I remember some on this very site stating how he was better than EA and how Ole Miss was going to be better. I think it is funny when these things happen.

I view this as Orgeron's failure more than Brent Schaeffer's. I was pulling for Brent.

I hope only good things for him as well. But I do remember some on here being gloom and doom and declaring BS better than EA. I think it's funny.

I'd like to see some evidence that anyone was really bemoaning Schaeffer's departure.

BS is what BS has done. He never put team first. Brent had the talent. At that time no one could dispute that. Maybe a very good athlete more so than QB. He got down, let teams down, took his knocks and stayed down. He could have been that player here, or Ole Miss if he'd worked for it. It was not on his silver platter.

I never saw much despair on any forum. I thought it was pretty obvious Ainge was a far superior qb.

I couldn't figure out then and can't figure out now how Brent started over Erik. Hopefully that isn't an indictment of the coaching staff.. hmy:

He didnt do things too badly at Tennessee only playing some of the reps but as the sole QB he isnt much.
