Trinidad Chambliss waiver: NCAA denies Ole Miss' appeal for QB to play in 2026
Our Summary
The NCAA has denied Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss a sixth year of eligibility. Chambliss, who transferred from Ferris State, was seeking a medical redshirt for the 2022 season after playing only two games due to medical issues. Ole Miss described the NCAA's decision as "indefensible," citing documented medical conditions that prevented Chambliss from participating that season.
In response, Chambliss filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, seeking an injunction to allow him to play another season. The case is set for a hearing on February 12 in Pittsboro, Mississippi. Ole Miss and Chambliss had agreed on a deal for him to return as the starting quarterback, contingent on the NCAA granting the waiver.
Chambliss led Ole Miss to an 11-1 regular-season record and the College Football Playoff semifinals. Amidst uncertainty over Chambliss's eligibility, Ole Miss has signed Deuce Knight, an Auburn transfer, and Walker Howard, a transfer from Louisiana
