Jaxson Dart did it all at Ole Miss during his college career, at least individually.
He didn’t lead the Rebels to an SEC title or even an appearance in an SEC title game, and he didn’t get Lane Kiffin’s program into a College Football Playoff.
But the guy who started his collegiate run at USC came to Oxford in 2022 and put up big-time numbers. He ended his run at Ole Miss with a brilliant season in 2024, throwing for a whopping 4,279 yards, 29 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions in being named a first-team All-SEC selection.
In 2023, he threw for 3,364 yards, 23 touchdowns and just 5 picks. And in 2022, after arriving from the West Coast, the Utah native threw for 2,974 yards, 20 TDs and 11 interceptions.
It was a great college run, and now Dart is in line for a great run in the NFL. On Saturday, it was Dart’s turn to show those NFL scouts exactly what he could provide to a lucky NFL team that chooses the 6-foot-2, 225-pounder in this spring’s draft.
