Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss’ waiver requesting a sixth year of eligibility was rejected by the NCAA, ESPN reported in a post on X on Jan. 9.

The post states that “Ole Miss can still appeal the decision.” If Ole Miss chooses not to appeal, or if the appeal is rejected, then Chambliss will have no eligibility remaining, ending his collegiate career.

On Monday, Jan. 5, Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports reported that Chambliss had agreed to a deal to return to Ole Miss in 2026 if the NCAA approved his waiver.
