A judge has given Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss an injunction for a sixth season of college football eligibility.
The NCAA can still appeal, but this clears the way for Chambliss to play in 2026.
Here is an excerpt from ESPN about the decision:

In a ruling that lasted well over an hour Thursday, Judge Robert Whitwell ruled that Chambliss clearly met the criteria to receive a medical redshirt for a sixth season.
Whitwell detailed that the NCAA ignored medical evidence in denying Chambliss’ waiver and the quarterback would suffer irreparable harm if denied this year. The judge concluded that Chambliss submitted adequate medical reference and that the NCAA didn’t act in good faith in denying the waiver.
The case was heard in a state court, which was a strategic decision by Chambliss’ lawyers who filed for the injunction last month.
The hearing for Chambliss followed his request for a sixth year of eligibility, which was denied by the NCAA on Jan. 9, and then his appeal was denied Feb. 5. Ole Miss has filed a request for reconsideration from the NCAA, claiming new evidence. That request was filed Monday and had also been denied.
