Another turn in the Trinidad Chambliss<\/a> eligibility case took place on Monday evening. Ole Miss<\/a> has filed a reconsideration to the NCAA over the matter, Yahoo\u2019s Ross Dellenger reports. Dellenger explained why Ole Miss can do this, revealing new evidence might have been unearthed.<\/p>\n

\u201cOle Miss today filed to the NCAA a *reconsideration* over the denial of QB Trinidad Chambliss\u2019 eligibility waiver and appeal, sources tell @YahooSports<\/a>,\u201d Dellenger said<\/a> via X. \u201cThe reconsideration method is available for schools and players who have new information or evidence related to the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cOle Miss\u2019 reconsideration is expected to focus on unearthed evidence over Chambliss\u2019 2022 season at Ferris State, where he believes he was entitled to a medical redshirt related to a severe case of tonsillitis.\u201d<\/p>\n

News came on Wednesday of the NCAA denying Chambliss\u2019 waiver to gain eligibility for the 2026 season. Even with this latest move from Ole Miss, the case is now heading to the courtroom. To no surprise, the Rebels are doing whatever to help out the person they beleive will be the starting quarterback this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCAA Athletics Eligibility Subcommittee\u2019s decision to deny Trinidad\u2019s appeal is indefensible in light of the undisputed facts,\u201d a statement from Ole Miss said. \u201cThe NCAA staff and subcommittee asserted that Trinidad was not denied the opportunity to compete during the 2022 season, despite the reality that he did not dress for a single game while suffering from severe, incapacitating medical conditions. Those conditions were fully and contemporaneously documented by his treating physician, yet this waiver request was still denied when it should have been approved at the NCAA staff level.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrinidad\u2019s representatives will continue to pursue all available legal remedies, and we will publicly stand behind Trinidad while holding the NCAA accountable for a decision that fails to align with its own rules, precedent, and the documented medical record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chambliss broke onto the college football scene this season after taking over for Austin Simmons<\/a>. He led Ole Miss on a magical College Football Playoff<\/a> run, falling just short of the national championship game. For now, the semifinal game vs. Miami<\/a> is the last we have seen of Chambliss.<\/p>\n

New head coach Pete Golding<\/a> wants another full season of Chambliss running the offense. The stats show exactly why. Chambliss threw for 3,937 yards, 22 touchdowns, and just three interceptions in 2025. His feet were a major factor as well, adding 527 yards and eight touchdowns on 133 carries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another turn in the Trinidad Chambliss eligibility case took place on Monday evening.
