Ole Miss quarterback Austin Simmons, who opened the 2025 season as the starter before getting hurt and losing the job to Trinidad Chambliss, plans to enter the transfer portal, sources told ESPN on Friday.

Sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel that Missouri is Simmons' likely landing spot, and that he's entering the transfer portal with a no contact tag, meaning other schools aren't permitted to contact him.

Simmons is expected to remain with the Rebels throughout the College Football Playoff. The No. 6 Rebels play No. 10 Miami in a CFP semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 8 (7:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

The Miami native will be a graduate transfer with two seasons of eligibility remaining.
