"In Chambliss' first season at Ole Miss, the former Division II star has led the No. 6 Rebels to a 13-1 record, the best season in school history. The Rebels play No. 10 Miami in Thursday's College Football Playoff semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). After taking over for injured starter Austin Simmons in the second game, Chambliss never relinquished the starting job. He completed 66.4% of his passes for 3,660 yards with 21 touchdowns and 3 interceptions this season."
"There was speculation that Chambliss might enter the transfer portal and join former coach Lane Kiffin at LSU. Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. will also coach at LSU next season. A native of Grand Rapids, Michigan, the lightly-recruited Chambliss started his college career at Ferris State, where he helped the Bulldogs win Division II national championships in 2022 and 2024."
"It's still unclear whether Chambliss will be eligible to play for the Rebels in 2026. Ole Miss filed a waiver petition for him to receive a sixth year of eligibility Nov. 16, and a decision will ultimately be made by the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. There were indications last month that the NCAA needed more information for the waiver to be granted."
Trinidad Chambliss agreed to a deal that would have him return to Ole Miss in 2026 if the NCAA approves his pending waiver for a sixth season of eligibility. In his first season at Ole Miss he led the No. 6 Rebels to a 13-1 record, the best season in school history, and the team advanced to a College Football Playoff semifinal. Chambliss took over for injured starter Austin Simmons, completed 66.4% of his passes for 3,660 yards with 21 touchdowns and three interceptions, and added 520 rushing yards with eight scores. He earned SEC Newcomer of the Year and finished eighth in Heisman voting. Ole Miss filed the waiver petition Nov. 16 and the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement must decide after requesting more information.
