Ole Miss Football Adds Commitment From Top Quarterback in Transfer Portal

Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels have landed a commitment from Division II All-American quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, he revealed via social media on Tuesday.

Chambliss, one of the top signal-callers at the Division II level, is fresh off of a monstrous campaign with his Ferris State program.

He was a second-team All-American in 2024 after tossing for 2,925 yards and 26 touchdowns, but his dual-threat ability stole the show.

Chambliss also rushed for 1,019 yards and 25 touchdowns after logging 50-plus total touchdowns on the season.

He'll have two seasons of eligibility remaining with Kiffin and Co. addressing the depth of the quarterback room.

Chambliss will compete for backup duties behind Austin Simmons with Louisville transfer Pierce Clarkson and Co.

Ole Miss also reeled in a commitment in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle on Monday as the program continues bolstering the depth in the quarterback room.

The 2026 Commitment: Rees Wise

Austin (Tex.) Westlake three-star quarterback Rees Wise has committed to Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels, he revealed via social media on Monday.

Wise, who wrapped up a weekend trip to Oxford on Sunday, verbally pledges to Kiffin's program after a successful stay in the Magnolia State.

“I started off with a list of Top 10 schools, really had no clue about these schools, did some research on all of them and kind of got down to a Top 3 and Ole Miss was on it. Started to fall in love before I even got there,” Wise told On3.

“First visit was absolutely amazing. Coach (Alex) Brown moved there while I was making the list and now he’s a coach there. It just became my dream school once I visited.”

The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Texas native comes in as a Top-50 signal-caller in America with Ole Miss sticking out early in his process.

With the Rebels beginning to separate themselves from the pack, last weekend's visit to Oxford was the cherry on top to get Ole Miss over the hump in his process.

“I absolutely loved it,” Wise told On3 Sports. “Same as last time. It was perfect. Visited in the fall so I didn’t get to see it at its full potential, but the spring, came up and the campus was amazing.

"I kept comparing it to the Masters, that’s how pretty it was. All the flowers and trees, stuff like that. Got to meet a lot more coaches than last time. Really enjoyed that. Staff was amazing. Got to talk to Kiffin a little bit. I just really loved the staff and everything about it. Really cool for me.”

Wise joins wide receivers Jameson Powell and Zion Legree alongside running back Ja’Michael Jones and cornerback Braylen Williams in the Rebels 2026 Recruiting Class.
