Trinidad Chambliss was the Quarterback for the Ole Miss Rebels. He led his team to a semi-final round but lost to the Miami Hurricanes 31-27. Chambliss is a great athlete, but the NCAA has denied his sixth year of eligibility. He has sued the NCAA for his sixth year of eligibility. His upcoming hearing is on Thursday, February 12th, 2026, in the Calhoun County Courthouse in Pittsboro, Mississippi. If Chambliss can’t get the lawsuit granted, he would most likely declare for the NFL Draft. There were lots of players who got their sixth year of eligibility, like Carson Beck and Michael Penix Jr.

Zade Hickey is a senior at Cape Central High School, and he is also an Ole Miss Rebel fan. When asked how he felt about the lawsuit, Hickey said, “I think it is unfair that many players are getting 6th years of eligibility but not Trinidad.” A lot of players have transferred to LSU because of Lane Kiffin, who was the head coach of Ole Miss and is now the head coach of LSU. Hickey said, “I think Ole Miss could beat LSU without him, but I do believe that with him, the team would be better off.” Kiffin is the reason Chambliss went from a D2 school, Ferris State, to Ole Miss. 

As of January 12, 2026. Trinidad Chambliss was granted an injunction for the 2026 season, which means he is eligible for the 2026 College Football Season. Since Chambliss made such an impact on the Ole Miss program on and off the field, this sixth year of eligibility will make such a huge impact. After coming from a D2 school, thinking he’d be a backup, he threw 22 touchdowns and was 3rd for passing yards with 3,937.
