The February 12 injunction from Judge Robert Whitwell cleared Chambliss to return to Ole Miss for 2026, prompting sportsbooks to lift his Heisman odds to +650 on BetOnline, the best among listed contenders.
Chambliss finished eighth in 2025 voting, throwing 3,937 yards and 22 TDs while rushing 527 yards and eight TDs. He faces a Texas squad on Oct. 24, and other top 2025 finishers—Ohio State's Julian Sayin, Jeremiah Smith, and Georgia's Gunner Stockton—return for the next season.
