Rebels Scavenge Portal for USC/Wisconsin Linebacker
Ole Miss defensive guru Pete Golding has taken the Rebel roster to the portal, eyeing former USC Trojan and Wisconsin Badger linebacker Tackett Curtis. The junior defender recorded 29 tackles, 15 solos and a sack in 2025, racking up 56 stops across two seasons. Curtis, standing 6-foot-2 and 228 pounds, is back on the market after transferring from USC to Wisconsin. Ole Miss had pursued him out of high school, and now Golding hopes to reignite that spark as the Rebels rebuild after a historic CFP run.
It’s the NCAA’s version of extreme couponing: Ole Miss combs the transfer portal like bargain hunters at a yard sale. Armed with sticky notes and a dream, the Rebels hope to snag Curtis before someone else grabs him. Who knew college football recruiting could feel like last-minute Black Friday shopping? But hey, when your coach switches from play-caller to head honcho overnight, you break out the portal machete and swing for the fences—err, linebackers.
Chambliss’ D-Day: Eligibility Waiver Hanging by a Thread
Trinidad Chambliss has powered Ole Miss to an 11-1 season and the school’s first College Football Playoff appearance, throwing for 3,016 yards and 18 touchdowns while rushing for 470 yards and six scores. The transfer from Division II Ferris State leads the SEC in total offense and ranks among national leaders in efficiency. Now he’s waiting on the NCAA waiver decision that could grant him another season of eligibility, with news expected any day.
Welcome to the NCAA’s soap opera, where eligibility rulings unfold slower than a daytime drama—and yes, there will be tears. Chambliss has already rewritten the Rebel record books, but the bureaucratic plot twist of “will-they-or-won’t-they” keeps fans on the edge of their tailgate seats. Grab your popcorn: this legal limbo is the only suspense in sports less certain than whether your phone charger will actually work after two years of fraying.
