Overview
- Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was denied a sixth year by the NCAA, which cited missing contemporaneous medical documentation from his 2022 season at Ferris State.
- Attorney Tom Mars said he and Mississippi trial lawyer William Liston plan to file in state court this week for a preliminary injunction; Liston also serves as founder and general counsel of The Grove Collective.
- The NCAA said Ferris State reported no treatment records for 2022 and attributed Chambliss’ lack of playing time to development and team circumstances, noting approvals require physician notes from the time of the claimed illness.
- Ole Miss has added Auburn transfer Deuce Knight, a former five-star who redshirted in 2025 and starred in a start vs. Mercer, positioning him to compete at quarterback if Chambliss remains ineligible.
- Ole Miss intends to appeal the NCAA ruling, and Chambliss’ previously agreed 2026 return deal is void for now, with ESPN reporting incentives could push its value above $6 million.
