Jaxson Dart’s breakout buzz just got a serious vote of confidence

Jaxson Dart has apparently been making quite the impression everywhere he's gone. Long before Lane Kiffin was hyping him up on a New York Giants podcast, Dart was showing up for the 64,000 at Vaught Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Mississippi, with highlight reel throws and electric playmaking.

He's Ole Miss' all-time leader in passing yards (10,617) and wins (28), and is second all-time in touchdowns (72). Impressive might actually be underselling it.

Even with all the college success, his billing as a first-round prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft forced some debates. Many viewed Dart as a high-second-round pick, while others viewed the 22-year-old as a top-15 pick.
