Sources: Ole Miss, QB Trinidad Chambliss reach deal for '26​

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has agreed to a new deal that would have him return to the Rebels in 2026, if the NCAA approves his pending waiver for a sixth season of eligibility, sources told ESPN on Monday.

.
It's still unclear whether Chambliss will be eligible to play for the Rebels in 2026. Ole Miss filed a waiver petition for him to receive a sixth year of eligibility Nov. 16, and a decision will ultimately be made by the NCAA Committee on Student-Athlete Reinstatement. There were indications last month that the NCAA needed more information for the waiver to be granted. There's no definitive timeline on when a decision will be made.

Ole Miss QB Chambliss faces complex process to get 6th year​

The waiver itself -- like many NCAA eligibility issues -- is complex. But the gist is that Chambliss is asking for a medical redshirt for the 2022 season when he was at Ferris State. (He took a traditional redshirt season during his true freshman year there in 2021.)

Chambliss did not play any games in 2022. He is seeking the medical redshirt for that season as he dealt with persistent respiratory issues that ultimately led to surgery to remove his tonsils.

The initial feedback from the NCAA's case manager, delivered to Ole Miss on Dec. 8, indicated that the panel was not inclined to issue the waiver. It invited the school to submit additional information, as the committee wanted more contemporaneous medical documentation from 2022.

NCAA denies Ole Miss QB Chambliss' waiver for 6th year

The NCAA has denied Trinidad Chambliss a waiver for a sixth year of eligibility, the NCAA announced Friday afternoon.

The decision appears to end Chambliss' college career, although Ole Miss will appeal, according to Chambliss attorney Tom Mars. The school had previously filed a waiver request Nov. 16, and the decision is not a surprise because the NCAA initially delivered a verbal denial to the school in December.

Chambliss would have been one of the faces of college football next year, as he had been slated to return to Ole Miss. Instead, he'll likely be off to the NFL, where he's projected now as a Day 3 pick in April's draft, although his play in the College Football Playoff has raised the trajectory of his profile.

The NCAA's decision comes one day after Ole Miss lost to Miami in the CFP semifinals 31-27 on a touchdown with 18 seconds left in the game.

Ole Miss will need a quarterback for next season, as Chambliss had committed to return, pending the waiver.
