Draft Profile: Bio
Trinidad Chambliss threw for 1,610 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior at Forest Hills Northern in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and went to Division II Ferris State. Respiratory problems kept him off the field in 2022, but in 2024 he went 14-1 as a starter, threw for 2,925 yards and 26 touchdowns, ran for 1,019 yards and 25 scores, and accounted for five touchdowns in the Division II title game win over Valdosta State. He was the GLIAC player of the year and a Harlon Hill finalist.Chambliss transferred to Ole Miss in April 2025 as a backup and took over when Austin Simmons was hurt, winning his first start 41-35 over Arkansas. He threw for 3,937 yards, 22 touchdowns and three interceptions, ran for eight scores and went 11-2 as a starter. He threw for 359 yards and four touchdowns in the Egg Bowl and was the offensive MVP of the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia with 362 yards, before Ole Miss lost the Fiesta Bowl semifinal to Miami. He won the Conerly Trophy and was named SEC Newcomer of the Year.
The NCAA denied his request for a sixth year, but a Mississippi judge granted an injunction in February 2026. He threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns in the 41-38 opening win over Louisville and ran for the go-ahead score against LSU. He threw three interceptions in the 34-27 loss at Texas and has 18 touchdown passes, eight interceptions and seven rushing scores for a 6-2 team.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Rare speed for a quarterback, creating a run-pass conflict defenses struggle to solve
- Seven rushing touchdowns this season, including the go-ahead score against LSU
- Drops the deep ball with velocity and placement, his best level
- Threw for 362 yards as the Sugar Bowl offensive MVP against Georgia
- Extends plays like a point guard, keeping his eyes downfield when the pocket breaks
- Took care of the ball in 2025, with three interceptions on 448 attempts
- Proven winner, 25-3 as a starter over the last two seasons at two levels
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Very light for a quarterback, and he invites contact rather than sliding
- Eight interceptions this season, including three at Texas
- Average arm on longer outside throws, and he bails clean reads early at times
Scouting Report: Summary
Chambliss is an undersized, ultra-competitive dual threat whose speed creates a run-pass conflict that single-high safeties struggle to solve. He extends plays with his eyes downfield, throws a good deep ball and has won at every level, from a Division II title at Ferris State to a playoff run at Ole Miss that included a Sugar Bowl offensive MVP award against Georgia. He won the Conerly Trophy as the best college player in Mississippi in 2025.His 2026 season has shown the same playmaking. He threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns in the comeback win over Louisville, ran for the go-ahead touchdown against LSU and has seven rushing scores to go with 18 touchdown passes. Florida's head coach told him after their game that he would have his Heisman vote, and Ole Miss has won six of eight games without Lane Kiffin.
However, the turnovers have crept up this season. After throwing three interceptions in all of 2025, he has eight in eight games, including three in the loss at Texas, where he completed 25 of 53 passes, and he has fumbled five times. He is very light for a quarterback and refuses to slide, which is a real durability question over a 17-game NFL season, and his arm is only average on outside comebacks and deep outs. He still bails on clean reads early at times. He will also be one of the oldest quarterbacks in the class after winning a sixth season in court.
Overall, Chambliss is an aggressive, creative playmaker whose athleticism and competitiveness are the foundation, and few quarterbacks in the class are more trusted in late-game spots. He projects as a first-round quarterback for a play-action, movement-based offense, with the upside of a quality starter once the pocket processing catches up to the legs. His 25-3 record as a starter over the last two seasons, at two levels, speaks to how he lifts the players around him.
