Yeah, the greatest thing he got from OSU was a year to work with Mickey, other than that he was never going to see the field as a Buckeye.dude looks like he aged 15 years
Good luck to him - but I don't think he's big enough to be a Big Ten safety.
Probably will end up at a MAC school or YSU. One of those types of schools, where he has a very good chance to play.

Everytime I see the words "Mississippi Court" I think to myself, Oh shit some of that ugly southern "justice" is at it again.
Lawyers for QB Trinidad Chambliss sue NCAA in Mississippi court

Lawyers for QB Trinidad Chambliss sue NCAA in Mississippi court
Lawyers representing Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss sued the NCAA on Friday, asking a judge in the Chancery Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi, for preliminary and permanent injunctions that would allow him to play one more season for the Rebels.
The NCAA denied Chambliss a waiver for a sixth year of eligibility on Jan. 9, ruling that Ole Miss officials and Chambliss didn't provide adequate medical evidence by a treating physician that showed he was suffering from an "incapacitating injury or illness," which is required for approval of a waiver.
Chambliss claimed he dealt with persistent respiratory issues as a sophomore at Division II Ferris State in 2022, which is why he didn't play that season.
"In Trinidad's case, the NCAA failed in its mission to foster his well-being and development as a student-athlete," the lawsuit says. "The mechanisms (i.e., waiver rules) for granting Trinidad an additional year of eligibility -- so that he has the opportunity to compete in four years of college football -- are available and within the NCAA's control.
"Despite the duty of good faith and fair dealing it owes Trinidad, the NCAA insists on considering the evidence in Trinidad's case in an isolated, rather than comprehensive, manner; interpreting its rules to impose requirements not contained therein; taking unreasonable if not irrational positions; and acting in an arbitrary and capricious manner in its decision-making and ruling."

Chambliss has already signed to play for the Rebels in 2026. His deal, including incentives, might be worth as much as $6 million, according to sources.
The case differs in that most lawsuits filed by players wanting an additional year of eligibility have been filed in federal courts and allege the NCAA violated federal antitrust laws. (Note: Like Ohio State basketball player Puff Johnson's case).
"We're not challenging the legality of any NCAA rules," Mars told ESPN on Friday. "To the contrary, we're asking that they be applied as written based on the totality of the circumstances, as required by internal NCAA policy, without ignoring certain evidence, misconstruing other evidence, and using arbitrary and tortured interpretations of the language the NCAA used to create the rules."

Re: After a great conversation with @theGunnerDaniel and Coach Key I’m excited to announce that I’ve committed to @OhioStateFB!!
Just sayin': Apparently Ohio State does have a "kicking coach" or at least somebody that is referred to as a kicking coach.

During his time at Findlay, Keys led the Oilers to a pair of appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs (2017, 2021) and coached ten players who achieved NCAA Division II All-American accolades. 179 of his athletes have earned all-conference accolades as well.
Keys was hired as the head coach at Findlay on Dec. 16, 2010 and also spent time as the Oilers co-defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator from 2000-04. Keys spent time coaching at West Virginia University, his alma mater, Indiana State University, Slippery Rock University, and the University of New Hampshire.
Also,

Mike Tomlin's wife Kiya breaks silence on Steelers coach's shocking departure
The fashion designer reacts to the coach stepping down in Pittsburgh after 19 seasons in heartfelt posts.
Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers after 19 seasons and none of them with a losing record. While the shock around the league is still fresh, his wife broke her silence after the bombshell news that hit three days ago.
The 53-year-old coach Tomlin released a statement on Tuesday, January 13, following an ugly 30-6 loss to the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round in Pittsburgh.
His fashion designer wife posted on Instagram her own words on what the news has meant to her in four parts:
Part 1: A LEGACY FORGED: COACH TOMLIN
“As many of you are aware, my husband has stepped down from his position as Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I want to take a moment to share something from my heart.I am incredibly proud of all he has accomplished, both on and off the field. Over the past few days, the messages and testimonies shared by current and former players — the men who knew him best — have been deeply moving. They’ve affirmed what I’ve always known to be true about his purpose and character.
His mission began long before the titles and headlines, back when we first met in college, and it has never wavered.”
Part 2: MORE THAN A COACH: A MENTOR
”From the very beginning, his purpose was clear: to help young men become great individuals. Coaching and fatherhood became the avenues through which he lived out that calling.To me, the men who passed through his locker rooms over more than 30 years of coaching, our own children, and the hundreds of young people across the region he personally poured into — that is his true legacy.
They are his coaching tree, and that is the achievement we are most proud of.”
Part 3: THE COACH T COLLECTION
“The Coach T Collection was my way of sharing that mentorship with the world — capturing the lessons, discipline, and mindset that shaped so many lives.
While I don’t yet know what our next chapter looks like, what I do know is that I am deeply grateful for the journey the Coach T Collection represented.”
