Chambliss later wrote a thank-you letter to Ole Miss after announcing his intention to return to the school.
“From the moment I arrived at Ole Miss, Oxford has truly felt like home for me and my family. I give all glory and honor to God for His guidance and faithfulness throughout this journey. This season has meant so much to me, especially because of the brothers I get to line up with every day and the unwavering love and support of the Oxford community.”
