Trinidad Chambliss and CJ Stroud

[Roysterr]

They are the same age, CJ is starting his 4th NFL season.

[Jordan Scruggs]

To provide some context

CJ Stroud and Bijan were both in the HS class of 2020

Chambliss was 2021 and has been in college for 6 years

Even crazier than that is the fact that backup Texas WR Sterling Berkhalter was in the same HS class as Stroud and Bijan. Berkhalter did a year of prep school in the 2020 season, then did 2 years at North Carolina A&T, 2 years at Cincy, and 1 year at Wake Forest before coming to Texas. Berkhalter was able to play this year since he redshirted in 2021 than had a medical redshirt in 2023, but the medical redshirt wasn't actually approved as a redshirt year until the NCAA gave him a waiver upon entering the portal this past offseason. 

On the same note, Darius Snow was also class of 2020 out of HS but was at Michigan State all 6 years before transferring to Texas. Like Berkhalter, he was also able to play this year due to several redshirt seasons he got cleared through the NCAA. 

Just crazy to think Berkhalter and Snow are in their 7th year removed from graduating HS and are in their 6th or 7th year of college. Same with Chambliss, who is in year 6

Hold old these guys are

CJ Stroud - Turned 24 in October (about to turn 25 next week)

Darius Snow - Turned 24 in December

Bijan Robinson - Turned 24 in January

Sterling Berkhalter - Turned 24 in May

Trinidad Chambliss - Turned 24 in August

I was a student at Harding University when they played Trinidad and Ferris State in the National Semi-Finals in 2024. Trinidad was a redshirt Junior that season and they went on to win the National Championship that season. When I heard that he was transferring to Ole Miss I was surprised. I thought he only had one year of eligibility left and I thought why would he most likely give up his last year to play football for the rest of his life just to go and ride the bench at Ole Miss for a year. Turns out I was wildly incorrect about that.

Why didn’t he go to the draft? Especially knowing Kiffin would be gone, I don’t get that….
