  "account": "Austin Simmons, once Ole Miss football's unquestioned starting quarterback, has transferred to Missouri for the upcoming 2026 season. The shift comes after Simmons sustained an ankle injury during a game against Kentucky in 2025, which led to Trinidad Chambliss taking over as the starter.
