NCAA Denies Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss a 6th Year of Eligibility

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss's request for a sixth year of eligibility was denied by the NCAA, potentially ending his college career. The NCAA cited the lack of required medical documentation for the denial. Chambliss, who led the SEC in passing yards in 2025, now faces the decision to either appeal the ruling or enter the NFL Draft. Ole Miss plans to appeal the NCAA's decision, seeking to retain Chambliss as their starting quarterback. Attorney Tom Mars, representing Chambliss, suggested exploring legal options in the Mississippi judiciary. The NCAA stated that the waiver request was rejected due to insufficient evidence of incapacitating illness or injury during Chambliss's time at Ferris State, his previous school. Chambliss had an outstanding season, leading Ole Miss to a record 13 wins and a College Football Playoff berth.
