Before the playoffs have even started, rising star quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has already added to his trophy case. Chambliss was honored as the SEC Newcomer of the Year on Wednesday, Dec. 10, an award voted on by all 16 SEC head coaches. He is the second ever recipient of this award; Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was the inaugural award winner.
Chambliss’ meteoric rise to stardom started at DII Ferris State, where he came alive his junior year by throwing for almost 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns en route to a 14-1 record and a national championship win.
