Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss has been granted a sixth season of eligibility by a state court judge in Mississippi, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN. The ruling follows an injunction issued today, which clears the path for the quarterback to play in the 2026 season.
The legal intervention comes after the NCAA previously ruled that Chambliss was ineligible for further collegiate play. By granting the injunction, the state court has effectively bypassed the NCAA's initial determination. However, the NCAA retains the option to appeal the judge's decision, which could potentially impact the quarterback's status moving forward.
Chambliss, a key figure for the Ole Miss program, will now be eligible to remain with the team for an additional year. This decision marks another instance of the court system siding with student-athletes in disputes over NCAA eligibility requirements and regulations. The ruling provides immediate clarity for the Rebels' future roster planning as they prepare for the 2026 campaign.
