Why Trinidad Chambliss didn't follow Lane Kiffin to LSU
In retrospect, it's at least a little surprising that Ole Miss' star quarterback didn't follow his old coach to Baton Rouge.
Trinidad Chambliss, the former LSU quarterback, opted to remain with Ole Miss rather than transferring to his former coach Lane Kiffin's new team in Baton Rouge. Despite initial speculation that Chambliss would follow Kiffin to LSU, the decision proved to be a wise one for the fifth-year starter. Chambliss had a breakout season last year, throwing for 3,937 yards with 22 touchdowns and just three interceptions, and rushing for an additional 527 yards and eight touchdowns.
He also led Ole Miss to its first-ever College Football Playoff berth under head coach Pete Golding. Kiffin's attempt to recruit Chambliss appears to have failed, as the quarterback announced his intention to return to Ole Miss in 2026 if granted a sixth year. Ole Miss fans and supporters expressed relief that Chambliss chose to remain loyal to his alma mater, recognizing his contributions to the team's success.
