Trinidad Chambliss Leads Ole Miss in CFP Rout as Eligibility Ruling Approaches

Ole Miss anticipates an NCAA decision within about a month on the quarterback’s retroactive redshirt request tied to his 2022 Ferris State season.

Overview

  • Ole Miss advanced with a 41-10 win over Tulane, as Chambliss went 23-of-29 for 282 yards with one passing score and added two rushing touchdowns.
  • The Rebels next face No. 3 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
  • Sideline reporter Katie George said the school expects the NCAA review to take roughly a month, with Chambliss having filed the waiver three weeks ago and no ruling yet.
  • The waiver centers on treating 2022 at Ferris State as a redshirt year; reports differ on whether he appeared in two games or did not play due to medical issues.
  • In his breakout first FBS season, Chambliss has completed 65.5% of his passes for 3,016 yards with 18 touchdowns and three interceptions, plus 470 rushing yards and six scores, finishing in the top 10 of Heisman voting, while speculation continues about a possible LSU move if an extra year is granted.
