Ole Miss Puts Chambliss and Lacy on Las Vegas Sphere for Heisman Push

The massive LED activation is meant to raise national awareness and shape early Heisman voter perception for two breakout 2025 players before key early-season games.

Overview

  • The Las Vegas Sphere began showing Trinidad Chambliss and Kewan Lacy on Sunday on its roughly 580,000-square-foot LED surface as part of Ole Miss’s Heisman campaign.
  • The Sphere display follows a grassroots rollout that included free yard signs and bumper stickers and a recent Times Square billboard as the program broadened the promotion beyond Oxford.
  • Chambliss and Lacy provide the on-field basis for the push: Chambliss threw for about 3,937 yards with roughly 30 total touchdowns in 2025 and Lacy rushed for 1,567 yards with 24 touchdowns that season.
  • Betting markets list Chambliss among the preseason Heisman contenders (No. 6, +1400 on BetMGM) while Lacy remains a longshot (+12500), and the school says the campaign seeks to increase voter and national media attention.
  • The activation has drawn pushback from rival fans and questions about spending, and it sets expectations that Ole Miss’s early-season matchups will now be watched as chances for the players to convert visibility into votes.
