The St. Louis, Missouri native played for the Charlotte Hornets of the NBA during their 2020-21 pre-season and went on to suit up for their G-League affiliate, the Greensboro Swarm, during the bubble season in Florida. 

Sneed spent four years at Kansas State where he showed improvement each season transitioning from the sixth man role in his freshman year to becoming the prominent figure of the team in his senior year where he averaged 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.7 assists in 32.5 minutes per game. Sneed had a decorated career as a Wildcat finishing second in school history in games played, and fourth in minutes played.

He was the only Wildcat to post at least 1000 points, 500 rebounds, 200 assists and 150 steals in a career.
