OXFORD — After a highlight-filled career at Ole Miss football, quarterback Jaxson Dart is preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft.
After beginning his career at USC, the Kaysville, Utah, product developed into an NFL draft candidate in his three years at Ole Miss under coach Lane Kiffin.
Dart departs Ole Miss as the program’s all-time passing leader. He broke Eli Manning’s record in the 2024 Egg Bowl game against Mississippi State that the Rebels won 26-14. Dart won the 2024 Conerly Trophy, which is awarded to the best college player in Mississippi. He was a USA Today All-SEC first-team selection.

Here is how NFL draft experts evaluate Dart as a potential selection:
