Chambliss and his attorney Tom Mars<\/a> intend to file a suit in Mississippi state court<\/a>, seeking an injunction that would allow Chambliss to play in 2026.<\/p>\n

If neither option produces an extra year of eligibility for Chambliss, the success of his 2025 season with the Rebels has opened up a path to the NFL for the former Division II star.<\/p>\n

Starting 13 games and helping Ole Miss to a 13-2 record and College Football Playoff semifinal appearance, Chambliss threw for 3,937 yards and 22 touchdowns with three interceptions at a 66% completion rate. He also rushed for 527 yards and eight touchdowns on 133 carries.<\/p>\n

Chambliss was named SEC Newcomer of the Year and was selected to the All-SEC second team. He also finished eighth in Heisman Trophy voting.<\/p>\n
