Jaxson Dart is not addressing his future as the Ole Miss quarterback gets ready for the Peach Bowl against Penn State.
The Ole Miss QB, at a press conference on Wednesday, sidestepped a question about what’s next.
“Right now, I’m really just focused on the bowl game,” Dart said. “We’re going to take that decision as a family. There’s a time and place for that, but right now I’m fully just focused on the bowl game and winning this game.”

Dart previously walked back comments last month from his coach, Lane Kiffin, who said Dart would be returning for the 2024 season.
Dart was 6th in the SEC in passing this past season with 2,985 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and 5 interceptions. He also had 375 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns.
Those numbers are an improvement from 2022 when Dart passed for 2,974 yards, 20 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, and rushed for 614 yards on 128 attempts and one touchdown.
