Knight entered the transfer portal after new Auburn coach Alex Golesh brought in Byrum Brown, his former starting quarterback at South Florida. On Friday, an NCAA committee denied Chambliss' waiver for a sixth year of eligibility.
• Ole Miss officials said they would appeal the ruling, while Chambliss' attorney, Tom Mars, indicated that he might sue the NCAA to try to get his client eligible for the 2026 season. Mars and Ole Miss officials had built their case on the grounds that Chambliss was dealing with persistent respiratory issues during his sophomore season at Division II Ferris State.
