Four SEC Quarterbacks Rank Among The 12 Best QBs In The Upcoming Draft

ESPN NFL Draft analyst Jordan Reid recently ranked "the 12 best QBs in the 2026 class as of now" and included four quarterbacks from the SEC.

In his list at No. 4 was Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss who might be returning to the Rebels next season.

The X factor: Chambliss is currently seeking an injunction to allow for a sixth year of eligibility. His waiver petitioning for that extra year has already been denied by the NCAA, and he has filed a suit in Mississippi in an attempt to play for the Rebels in 2026. We will consider him part of the 2026 class until the situation is resolved.
