There was no better story in all of college football than Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss, who came up from the Division II level, took over the starting gig after starting the season as the backup quarterback at Ole Miss, and led them all the way to the College Football Playoff semi-finals.

He was granted another season of eligibility, bypassing the 2026 NFL Draft, and is now looking to run it back with the Rebels. He had some late-season buzz after his playoff run, but opted to run it back instead.

Was that the right call? That’s what we look at here in this deep dive on Chambliss’ tape, ball placement and accuracy profile, and more.

These articles typically come with a Live Charting film breakdown, but I already did one on Chambliss’ second-to-last game of the season against Georgia. You can find that link below:
