Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss granted injunction by Mississippi judge ...

  • Thursday, Mississippi Judge Robert Whitwell granted Trinidad Chambliss a temporary injunction making him immediately eligible for the 2026 season, a ruling the NCAA can appeal.
  • Following a Jan. 9 denial and a Feb. 4 upheld decision, Chambliss sued the NCAA in Lafayette County Chancery Court on Jan. 16, arguing his 2022 season should not count toward eligibility.
  • Citing nearly 91 pages of records, Judge Robert Whitwell explained in about 90 minutes that Ole Miss and its submissions showed Trinidad Chambliss's medical history was not properly considered.
  • The decision lets Ole Miss activate a NIL agreement expected to exceed $5 million, strengthening their 2026 roster ahead of the Sept. 5 opener against Louisville.
  • NCAA officials said the ruling creates an impossible situation and warned inconsistent state laws and conflicting court decisions require partnering with Congress for stability.
