Ole Miss Football's Trinidad Chambliss Sits Alongside Dante Moore for Major Award

Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss remains the talk of the town this offseason after Mississippi Judge Robert Whitwell granted a preliminary injunction to the program's signal-caller which will allow him to suit up in 2026.

Chambliss finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting in 2025 after leading the Rebels to the College Football Playoff semifinals where he totaled 30 touchdowns; surging as one of the top signal-callers in America.

Ole Miss had taken preparations if Chambliss was not to play the 2026 season where the program brought in Auburn transfer quarterback Deuce Knight - a former five-star in the 2025 Recruiting Cycle.

Now, Pete Golding and Co. have their guy with Chambliss granted injunction.

Judge Whitwell said in his lengthy decision that the NCAA “breached its duty of good faith and acted in bad faith” in denying Chambliss a medical redshirt season for the 2022 season when he was at Ferris State prior to making his decision final on Thursday evening.

Chambliss will be one of the top returning players in college football after throwing 3,927 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2025, while adding 520 rushing yards and eight scores, fueling the Rebels' College Football Playoff run.

“God has been so good to me and this team,” said Chambliss last month following a College Football Playoff run. “It’s been a great ride. I wouldn’t want to do it with any other people, whether it’s coaches, players, people in the offices. It’s just been a great ride.

Now, Chambliss sits with the second-best Heisman Trophy odds heading into the 2026 season behind Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
