Chamblis denied extra year of eligibility.
- Thread starter Hugh's Burner Phone
- Start date
I read that someone said he deserves a medical redshirt because he got his tonsils taken out four years ago.
Breaking news: grown *** man told he can’t play with 18 year olds any more. More at 10.
seriously….i don’t blame OM for trying, but he’s a 24 year old grown man. What the 17 are we even talking about? Go play NFL football dude.

I hope Tom gets him cleared in time to transfer
In 2018 division 1 started the up to 4 game rule and still could redshirt. Division 2 didn’t have that rule. He played in inly 2 games his freshman season at Ferris State. He’s asking the NCAA to grant and treat his freshman season as a redshirt like they do for division 1. I’m shocked they denied it
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss was denied an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA on January 9, 2026, ending his college career, despite the university and Chambliss filing a medical waiver for his 2022 season at Ferris State due to chronic tonsillitis, an issue he had hoped would grant him a retroactive medical redshirt for a potential 2026 season. The waiver request, supported by attorney Tom Mars, cited severe respiratory issues that year, but the NCAA ultimately decided against it, making the recent Fiesta Bowl potentially his final game.
That's the thing about karma and the laws of physics pertaining to unbalanced forces - the more out of balance something is, the faster and harder the correction will be.
He wants a medical redshirt for a year he didn't play because he said he was having respiratory issues which didn't allow him to play. The documentation provided to the NCAA was insufficient to determine that, so he was denied a medical redshirt, and he already had one redshirt year, so he doesn't get a second unless it's a medical redshirt.
Tough 24 hours for the Rebs. Hate it for them.
He doesn't want to take a pay cut to play in the NFL
If sports media were honest, every article or tweet about this would lead with the fact that what he is trying to get is a 6th year of eligibility.
I mean for us, this would help us if he got granted an extra year. We could bring back Thompson, Manning, and Mitchell….but this is ridiculous
I got to tell you, if this holds and I’m Lacy I am getting out. I don’t know if he can declare for draft or not but I’m either going to draft or LSU because it’s headed south without that QB.
Yep. I fully expect he’ll be playing for UM next fall.
If playing college football is now a right, I'm considering suing Mississippi State, Ole Miss, and Alabama among others for not recruiting me out of high school. I still have 4 years of initial eligibility plus whatever else we can get approved.
I could’ve been the perfect DEI recruit. Short, slow, colonial African, can catch or jump, and not overly intelligent. D1 rosters are completely underrepresented by people of my genetic makeup. I demand equity.
If Lacy is draft eligible, he’d probably be better suited going that route. RB careers are short enough as it is. In the NFL the players goal is to get to the second contact. He may make more in one year staying, but in the long run getting to league as soon as possible, for RBs, is the best bet.
I understand wanting to announce he chose Ole Miss over LSU, and I get Ole Miss (hell, particularly Ole Miss) being worried about winning the recruiting battle first and then worrying about eligibility, but he would have been much better off telling LSU he was coming so that the NCAA was making a decision on whether he'd be eligible to (likely) play for LSU next year as starting QB instead of making a decision on whether he'd be eligible to play for Ole Miss next year. Those are two completely different questions in the eyes of the NCAA and it was stupid to not try his best to have them make a decision on the first question.
Was just thinking the same thing. Yall just thought that we’d opened Pandora’s box a few years ago, but just wait….
None of that matters. We’re talking 6th year here, not 5th. He took a regular redshirt year, played 3 years at “the other FSU”, then played this year.
If he thinks the Mississippi judiciary is a level playing field...oh wait, he doesn't think that lol
It’s headed south regardless….with or without Chambliss. He’s a very average QB when he’s not in the offensive system run by the most innovative and efficient playcaller in the past 20-30 years in college football.
Kiffin is gone and Weis Jr. is gone. His stock is as high as it ever will be right now.
There’s no place for him in the NFL. He isn’t that good. Do you think he was at Ferris State for 3 years because he just liked flying under the radar?
But if he's guaranteed $2 million to play college - I would do it. NFL is not.
Do you declare for the draft by the January 23 cut date or do you forgo and risk not winning the appeal and having to wait an entire year until the next draft after everyone has forgotten about you? I say go now.
Well one thing is for sure and that is that everyone that passed on him for 3 years made the right decision and evaluators never make mistakes. He will get drafted
