The February 12 ruling by Judge Robert Whitwell granted Chambliss an injunction against the NCAA, allowing him to return to Ole Miss for the 2026 season. The decision has shifted betting markets, with BetOnline listing Chambliss at +650, the best odds for the Heisman Trophy, just behind Texas quarterback Arch Manning at +550.
Chambliss finished eighth in the 2025 Heisman voting and posted 3,937 passing yards and 22 touchdowns last season. With the NCAA still able to appeal, his eligibility remains uncertain, but the current odds favor him over Notre Dame's CJ Carr (+750) and other contenders.
