"The NCAA has denied Ole Miss' appeal for Trinidad Chambliss' sixth-year eligibility waiver, the school confirmed on Wednesday, which will direct his fight to play college football in 2026 to state court in Mississippi. The waiver, which was denied by the NCAA athletics eligibility subcommittee, was for a medical redshirt stemming from his second year at Ferris State in 2022. The NCAA denied Chambliss' initial request for a waiver back on Jan. 9."
"Ole Miss confirmed the news in a statement on Wednesday night, calling the decision "indefensible." The NCAA referred back to its initial statement on Jan. 9 that indicated a lack of proper medical documentation. Ole Miss said in the statement on Wednesday that Chambliss "did not dress for a single game while suffering from severe, incapacitating medical conditions." Chambliss' injunction hearing is expected to be heard on Feb. 12 in Chancery Court of Lafayette County in Mississippi."
Trinidad Chambliss was denied a sixth-year medical redshirt waiver by the NCAA athletics eligibility subcommittee, and his appeal was likewise denied, directing his eligibility fight to Mississippi state court. The waiver related to injuries during his second year at Ferris State in 2022. Ole Miss called the NCAA decision "indefensible" and said Chambliss did not dress for a single game while suffering severe, incapacitating medical conditions. Chambliss' attorneys have filed for an injunction, with a hearing set for Feb. 12 in Chancery Court of Lafayette County. Millions of dollars and his potential role in the 2026 season hinge on the court outcome.
