The Rebels have had a busy offseason, with transfer portal acquisitions including tight end Michael Trigg and linebacker Troy Brown, but no player new to Oxford this season has gained quite as much attention as USC transfer Jaxson Dart.
Dart, who was ranked as the seventh-best transfer product this past offseason as a four-star talent by 247sports, has been picked by many fans as the starting quarterback to lead the Rebels this season, but Kiffin clearly sees things differently.
In the previous season, Rebel quarterback and early Heisman Trophy contender Matt Corral had squashed any rumbles of backup quarterback Luke Altmyer taking his job due to Corral’s leadership and his impeccable statistics.
