Ole Miss QB aims to refine his game | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss is aiming for a more disciplined approach as he begins what he calls his final season, after last year’s improvisation that made him a college football sensation. In the Rebels’ CFP quarterfinal win over favored Georgia in the Sugar Bowl, he saw in the highlights that some of his most chaotic escape plays were risky—because getting sacked or falling could have hurt the team. Chambliss has benefited from heightened attention, including analysts calling him “the face of college football” in 2026, and even EA Sports considering putting him on a cover before declining due to an NCAA eligibility dispute. With Ole Miss ranked ninth in the preseason AP Top 25, he’ll work with new offensive coordinator John David Baker to play more like a pro, improve his football IQ and refine leadership as he looks toward the NFL. Chambliss played at Division II Ferris State in 2024, nearly quit football for Division III basketball, then led Ferris State to a national championship before joining Ole Miss as a projected backup in 2025.
