What landing five-star transfer QB Jaxson Dart means for Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss football

OXFORD, Miss. — Ole Miss football has its man.

Reports surfaced that USC quarterback Jaxson Dart committed to Mississippi out of the transfer portal Saturday. A rising sophomore with at least three years of eligibility, Dart is ranked as a five-star talent and the third-best player in the transfer portal behind Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams and Ohio State quarterback Quinn Ewers, according to 247Sports.

Dart's freshman year at USC was impressive. For a coach like Lane Kiffin to get the moldable clay of a sophomore quarterback who threw for 391 yards and four touchdowns in his first college start has to be considered a coup.
