Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss sues NCAA to get sixth season of eligibility
Chambliss seeks court injunction after NCAA denied his sixth year due to lack of timely medical records, with Ole Miss appealing the decision, citing respiratory illness in 2022.
- On Jan. 16, Trinidad Chambliss and his legal team filed in the Chancery Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi, seeking a preliminary injunction, medical hardship waiver, damages, and a permanent injunction to play for Ole Miss in 2026.
- Chambliss sought a waiver for his 2022 season at Ferris State University after respiratory issues and mononucleosis, but the National Collegiate Athletic Association denied it on Jan. 9, citing lack of contemporaneous physician documentation.
- Ole Miss staff provided 91 pages of medical records to the NCAA, and the lawsuit includes three letters from Dr. Anthony Howard, Tony Annese , and Brett Knight .
- The suit contends Trinidad Chambliss would lose millions if forced into the NFL draft, where ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. ranks him third among quarterbacks, while Keith Carter said Ole Miss will appeal to the NCAA Committee level.
- The suit, filed on Jan. 16, 2026, a week after the NCAA denied Chambliss's waiver, could impact NCAA waiver rules and documentation standards, especially given his signed $6 million return deal.
