NCAA Denies Sixth-Year Waiver for Ole Miss QB Chambliss, Prompting Legal Action

The NCAA denied Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss’s bid for a sixth season of eligibility due to insufficient medical documentation of an incapacitating injury, despite Chambliss’ standout 2025 season. Ole Miss has prepared for 2026 without him and added Auburn transfer Deuce Knight. Chambliss has sued the NCAA seeking to play another season, arguing medical records supported his case; the NCAA maintains approval requires timely medical documentation from a treating physician, which was not provided.

Beard storms the floor, Ole Miss loses at Tennessee after ejection

Ole Miss Rallies to Keep Princewill Umanmielen Amid Portal Talk

Ole Miss is reportedly negotiating to keep pass rusher Princewill Umanmielen after he announced plans to enter the transfer portal; the Rebels recently signed a new contract with him, but conversations are ongoing and nothing is final. Umanmielen, who joined Ole Miss in 2025 from Nebraska, tallied 44 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and 9 sacks this past season. With Friday marking the deadline for players to notify schools of portal intent, Ole Miss has been active in retention and portal activity, including deals for Kewan Lacy and Trinidad Chambliss (the latter contingent on eligibility).

Ole Miss QB Takes Legal Step Toward Sixth-Year Eligibility

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has filed a Mississippi state-court lawsuit seeking preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to allow him to play a sixth season after the NCAA denied his medical waiver. Chambliss argues the NCAA breached good-faith and fair-dealing obligations and would grant him eligibility for the 2025–27 academic years if successful. The case cites medical issues from Ferris State in 2022 (tonsillitis, chest pains, heart palpitations) and a coach’s letter in support, while the NCAA contends there wasn’t enough medical documentation. Chambliss has hired Tom Mars and Ole Miss NIL figure William Liston III; the filing is notable for being pursued in state court rather than federal court and could determine whether he can play next season.
