Trinidad Chambliss leads Geoff Schwartz’s Week 3 college football standouts
The Fox Sports analyst placed the Ole Miss quarterback at the top of a quarterback-heavy selection shaped by film and overall impact, not statistics alone.
Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss leads Fox Sports analyst Geoff Schwartz’s selection of standout performers from Week 3 of the 2026 college football season.
Chambliss reportedly threw for 363 yards and two touchdowns against LSU. Schwartz also pointed to his performances in all three College Football Playoff games last season and two 2026 outings against ranked opponents.
Quarterbacks dominated the selections. West Virginia’s Hawkins Jr. accounted for five touchdowns in a win over Virginia, combining 190 passing yards with 123 rushing yards. Miami’s quarterback completed 24 consecutive passes in his first road game, three short of the FBS record.
Indiana receiver Becker caught five passes for 127 yards and a touchdown against Western Kentucky, taking his season total to six touchdowns. Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, added 56 rushing yards and scored another touchdown in a 50–36 win over Florida State.
Duke running back Sheppard ran for 154 yards against Stanford and has accumulated 528 rushing yards through three games. Schwartz’s assessment described Russell as having entered the Heisman conversation, while calling Sheppard an overlooked leading performer.
The supplied Fox Sports material ends part-way through the top-10 list, leaving the identities and details of all selections unconfirmed.
