JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — The NCAA has filed an appeal in the eligibility case of Mississippi quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.
In the appeal filed Thursday with the Mississippi Supreme Court, the NCAA argues that Chambliss has “exhausted his eligibility” to play Division I football because he has already played four seasons in a five-year period, the maximum allowed under NCAA rules.

A Mississippi judge last month granted Chambliss a preliminary injunction against college athletics’ governing body, giving him an extra year of eligibility that would allow him to play in 2026. The NCAA previously denied Chambliss’ waiver request.
Chambliss began his college career at Ferris State in 2021, redshirted his freshman season and did not play in 2022 due to medical issues. He played two more seasons at Division II school Michigan, leading the Bulldogs to a national championship before transferring to Ole Miss before the start of last season.
Chambliss, 23, led the Rebels to the College Football Playoff semifinals.
