A Missouri State transfer who found his footing at Ole Miss, Tahj Chambers signed with the Colts as an undrafted linebacker out of the SEC.
Tahj Chambers took a winding road to the NFL, starting his college career at Missouri State before transferring to Ole Miss for his final season. Undrafted in 2026, the Arlington, Texas native signed with the Colts hoping to carve out a role on defense and special teams.
Path to the league
Chambers began his college career at Missouri State before transferring to Ole Miss, where he spent his final season in the SEC. Standing 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds, he went unselected in the 2026 NFL Draft but signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent afterward.
Career highlights
Chambers used his time at Missouri State to develop into an every-down linebacker before making the jump to Power Four competition at Ole Miss. His move to the SEC gave him a final season of tape against top-tier competition, which helped him land an NFL opportunity despite going undrafted.
2025 season recap
In his lone season at Ole Miss in 2025, Chambers recorded 46 tackles, 27 of them solo, to go with three pass breakups and a quarterback hurry. The production was enough to draw NFL interest, and he signed with Indianapolis as an undrafted free agent following the draft.
