Trinidad Chambliss was granted his sixth year of eligibility by a Mississippi state court judge. Chambliss will provide an extreme threat to Ole Miss’s offense. Here’s what happened last year and what to expect next season.

During the regular season the University of Georgia played host to the Ole Miss Rebels on October 18, 2025. It was an electric back and forth games as both teams provided fireworks on offense, and not a lot of defense. Both Tinidad Chambliss and Gunner Stockton played in a way that could deliver their team to victory. At the end of the game the University of Georgia started running away with it late and won 43-35.

But everything changed when they faced off again in the Sugar Bowl. Ole Miss and Georgia met again in New Orleans, but this time as a playoff game. By halftime Georgia dominated the way. Leading the Rebels by a score of 21-12. Then the second half kicked off and the game developed into the Trinidad Chambliss show. It seemed like there was nothing that the UGA defense could do to stop the Ole Miss quarterback. Not only did he hurt the Dawgs with his arm but with his legs as well.

Ole Miss out scored UGA in the second half by 14 points. Ole Miss won the Sugar Bowl by a score of 39-34. The offense of Ole Miss, led by Chambliss, took away any momentum UGA had during the Sugar Bowl.

Next season the Dawgs will travel to Oxford yet again to play the Rebels of Ole Miss on November 7th. Even though Georgia has a series record of 34-15, this matchup will be a tough one for the University of Georgia. The Dawgs will have to find a way to contain Chambliss and not allow him to hurt them with his legs. A game on the schedule that both teams will circle. A revenge game for the Dawgs if they can find a way to win.
