QB Chambliss Seeks Extra Year of Eligibility
29 Nov, 2025
Summary
- Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss applied for an NCAA waiver to play in 2026.
- Chambliss led Ole Miss to an Egg Bowl victory with 359 passing yards.
- The waiver would grant Chambliss a retroactive redshirt for his freshman year.
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is seeking an additional year of eligibility, having filed a waiver with the NCAA to play in the 2026 season. This request comes after a standout performance in his first Egg Bowl game, where he guided Ole Miss to a decisive 38-19 victory over Mississippi State.
Chambliss, a senior and transfer from Ferris State, had a remarkable game, throwing for 359 yards and four touchdowns. If his waiver is approved, it would allow him to return for a final season, an opportunity he expressed enthusiasm for, citing the chance to further develop within the team's offense.
The waiver's success depends on successfully arguing for a retroactive redshirt for his 2022 freshman season, during which he participated in only two games. This potential extra year of eligibility could significantly impact Ole Miss's future strategies, especially following their strong performance this season.
