Overview
- The NCAA recently upheld its denial of a sixth year for the Ole Miss quarterback, citing insufficient contemporaneous medical records from his 2022 Ferris State season.
- On Monday, Ole Miss requested NCAA reconsideration based on purported new evidence focused on that 2022 period and a severe case of tonsillitis.
- Chambliss’ attorneys filed a Feb. 7 response asserting the case is not contrived and pointing to a December 2024 broadcast that referenced a 2022 medical redshirt.
- A preliminary-injunction hearing is set for Feb. 12 in Lafayette County, Mississippi, to decide whether he can play while the lawsuit proceeds.
- The stakes include a reported NIL deal exceeding $5 million if he returns to school and a potential move to the 2026 NFL Draft after a 3,937-yard, 22-touchdown 2025 season.
