Every college football fan knows the exact moment that Trinidad Chambliss vaulted into the national conversation, and became a sneaky option for the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
It came on a drive against Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, when the Ole Miss quarterback turned in a dazzling series of plays as Chambliss and company drove 75 yards to take the lead against the Bulldogs. It might be hard to pick out a favorite play from that drive, but this one certainly stands out, a rocket on the move to Harrison Wallace III after escaping the pocket:
Ole Miss' dream season came to an end in the next game, a loss to Miami in the Fiesta Bowl. Following that defeat, Chambliss needed another win — in the court system — to be eligible for one more season of college football.
Now that he has that win under his belt, it is time to dream about what he can be on the field this year, and beyond.
Chambliss is not your prototypical quarterback prospect, and despite what he does on the field this season for Ole Miss there will be questions he will have to face during the NFL Draft process. He will be a 25-year-old rookie in the NFL, he is not quite six-feet tall, he was a backup for three seasons at a Division II program before earning the starting job, and his success last year came in a Lane Kiffin offense that might not be a seamless transition to the NFL.
