Chambliss was a two-time Division II national champion at Ferris State before transferring to Ole Miss this past April. Following an injury to starter Austin Simmons in September, the 23-year-old took over for the remainder of the season and led the Rebels to a 13-2 record and a berth in the College Football Playoff. He threw for 3,937 yards and 22 touchdowns to just three interceptions while also rushing for an additional 527 yards and 8 touchdowns on the ground.
Ole Miss’s 2025 season came to an end on Thursday night with a loss to Miami in the CFP semifinals.
