Overview
- Multiple reports indicate growing optimism within Ole Miss that a Mississippi court could grant an injunction allowing Chambliss to play in 2026.
- Chambliss sued the NCAA on Jan. 16 in Lafayette County Chancery Court seeking temporary and permanent injunctions following a Jan. 9 waiver denial.
- The NCAA said his filing lacked adequate contemporaneous evidence of an incapacitating 2022 illness, a requirement for medical-hardship relief.
- His legal team also filed an internal appeal and argues he has only three countable seasons (2023–24 at Ferris State, 2025 at Ole Miss) under NCAA rules.
- The case is before Judge Robert Whitwell near Ole Miss, and supporters point to a recent Tuscaloosa TRO for Charles Bediako as a sign courts may grant temporary relief.
