Trinidad Chambliss Issues Statement About Future at Ole Miss

Trinidad Chambliss, quarterback for Ole Miss, announced his intention to return to the team next season, pending the NCAA's approval of an additional year of eligibility. Chambliss transferred to Ole Miss from Ferris State and stepped in as starting quarterback after an injury to Austin Simmons. He led the team to an 11-1 record and a College Football Playoff semifinal appearance, completing 66.4% of his passes for 3,660 yards, 21 touchdowns, and three interceptions, while rushing for 520 yards and eight touchdowns. Chambliss earned honors as SEC Newcomer of the Year and second-team All-SEC. He is seeking a sixth year of eligibility through an NCAA waiver, which he is reportedly confident will be granted. Despite speculation of a possible transfer to LSU, Chambliss plans to remain at Ole Miss under head coach Pete Golding, who was promoted after Lane Kiffin's departure.
