Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is shooting up NFL draft boards. Austin Simmons gets a wild-card entry to showcase his skill under the center as a de facto starter. But wait, Lane Kiffin has flirted with the portal chances as well. Kiffin has had an elite reputation for taking a real and honest approach while swooping players from the portal. Now, it seems he is weighing in on his skill over the standout Ferris State Quarterback with a groundbreaking stat.
We are zooming into the name, Trinidad Chambliss, who just announced to hit the portal after spending an eventful junior year with the Bulldogs. In 2023, he had a sporadic season, appearing only in eight games, but once he takes up the charge to lead Ferris State to their dynasty status in 2024, it’s a different story. He stepped up as a starter and never looked back. He started for 15 games and stopped after earning them the much-anticipated national championship. He racked up a total of 3,000 yards and 26 touchdowns in the breakout season (in 2024). But now, it’s time to shake up and shine brighter. Division I is calling!
Guess who sneaked his way toward the powerhouse! Yes, Lane Kiffin and the Rebels’ staff. Pete Nakos of ON3 revealed that Ole Miss is in a good spot to land the Grand Rapids native. The Rebels turned heads in one of the top available quarterbacks’ transfer portal choices, multiple sources told On3.. Chambliss has been in active communication with the Rebels, and a visit to Oxford might be the next step to their potential marriage.
Sources cautioned that Ole Miss and Chambliss also signed a deal.
