Just when we thought Ole Miss won't have to deal with any more insane reunions as opponents, there came another.

Ole Miss's Pete Golding could be playing against QB Trinidad Chambliss, as a QB of another team, besides LSU's Lane Kiffin, in the 2026 season.

The chilling possibility comes after Chambliss' unsigned waiver started gaining buzz this week.

That, or he could play for Golding for another year.

The Ole Miss QB has applied for a waiver petition for a sixth-year, citing his 2022 season as a medical redshirt year.

While there is no update on whether the NCAA approves Chambliss' waiver, the palpable tension of his abandoning the Rebels after his unprecedented success in 2025 is coming to a head in the Grove.

Trinidad Chambliss could enter transfer portal

Chambliss has already made headlines with an attorney before the transfer portal opens in January.

"With the NCAA transfer portal set to open Jan. 2, Chambliss enlisted prominent attorney Tom Mars on Dec. 17 to help his case," ESPN's Pete Thamel reported.

"On Dec. 22, Mars sent Ole Miss a seven-page letter, which has since been forwarded by the school to the NCAA reinstatement committee."

"'This matter is not just time sensitive,' Mars wrote. The letter asserts that Chambliss would 'suffer irreparable harm' if he's not granted the waiver."

There is no two-way about Chambliss will be the most coveted QB in the 2026 cycle if he were to enter the transfer portal. Most coveted and probably the most expensive QB in the transfer portal.

Worst part about it is Chambliss is considering opportunities that is "best" for him.

"The quarterback has said he hasn't decided where he'd go if he gets the waiver," Thamel added.

Chambliss told media in Mississippi last week: "I'd have to consider what the best situation is for me. What I feel most comfortable with. Who I trust the most."

Ole Miss will try it's best to keep Chambliss around for the 2026 season, exactly like they did with Lane Kiffin.

Given how that went down, only time will tell whether Chambliss decides to continue building his legacy in blue and red.
