Chambliss vs Manning Heisman Race | Texas Longhorns Football News

The 2026 Heisman race is already heating up, with Arch Manning in the spotlight—but ESPN’s Jordan Rodgers says Ole Miss’ Trinidad Chambliss might steal the show. Coming from Division II and stepping into a suddenly vacant starting role mid-season, Chambliss exploded last year: nearly 4,000 passing yards, over 500 rushing yards, and a stellar TD-to-INT ratio. He led Ole Miss to an 11-1 record and a playoff semifinal run, including a clutch playoff win over Georgia. While Arch Manning had a solid season with 3,000+ yards and 26 TDs, Chambliss’ poise under pressure—especially after their coach left mid-season—makes him the sleeper contender to watch.
