The Heisman Trophy conversation continues to build leading up to Week 7 of college football. Many analysts and media personalities have weighed in and provided their candidate lists. Among them is Rick Neuheisel of CBS Sports. Ahead of Week 7 action, Neuheisel shared his top 3 candidates, which included Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.
Chambliss began the 2025 season as the backup to Austin Simmons. However, after Simmons suffered an ankle injury, Chambliss took over the QB1 role against Arkansas and has remained the starter since. He has led the Rebels to achieving a 5-0 record, the No. 1 spot in the SEC, and the No. 4 ranking in the AP Top 25.
A Division II transfer, Chambliss has posted impressive stats in his senior season; his 5 touchdowns for 1,033 yards with only 1 interception have bolstered his resume and included him in the Heisman conversation. The Rebels have 7 games remaining, and 2 of them will be against AP Top 25 opponents.
If the Rebels can remain unbeaten and secure wins over their ranked opponents with Chambliss’s help, it will be undeniable that he will make a strong case for the Heisman Trophy award that will be awarded in December.
