Overview

  • The sixth-year eligibility bid, filed Nov. 16, is pending with the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement with no announced timeline for a ruling.
  • An NCAA case manager told Ole Miss on Dec. 8 the waiver was unlikely without more contemporaneous documentation from 2022.
  • Chambliss retained attorney Tom Mars on Dec. 17, and a seven-page letter was forwarded to the committee on Dec. 22 urging expedited consideration.
  • The submission includes a statement from treating ENT specialist Dr. Anthony Howard and 91 pages of records citing chronic tonsillitis and related complications that limited participation in 2022.
  • The outcome carries urgent roster and career implications with the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 and the transfer portal opening Jan. 2, and a granted waiver could lead to a return to Ole Miss or portal options reportedly including LSU.
