Summary
- Trinidad Chambliss transferred from Division II Ferris State to Ole Miss.
- He led Ferris State to a national championship in the previous season.
- Chambliss became Ole Miss's starting quarterback due to an injury.

Trinidad Chambliss's journey to the College Football Playoff quarterfinal round has been extraordinary. Before the current season, he had never played Division I college football, having begun his career at Division II Ferris State in Big Rapids, Michigan. After a stellar season leading Ferris State to a national championship, Chambliss transferred to Ole Miss for the 2025 season.
During his championship season at Ferris State, Chambliss achieved significant success, recording 2,925 passing yards and 26 touchdowns, alongside 1,019 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns. He was instrumental in their title game victory, contributing five total touchdowns. This performance earned him a chance at the Division I level.
Upon arriving at Ole Miss, Chambliss initially played behind Austin Simmons. However, an injury to Simmons opened the door for Chambliss to take over as the starting quarterback. He not only retained the position but also earned SEC Newcomer of the Year and second-team All-SEC recognition, culminating in his current pursuit of a national title.
