Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has steadily risen over the course of the Draft process, but has also been a very divisive figure in the quarterback discussion.
He was largely dismissed as a “system” quarterback for much of his time at Ole Miss, and largely overlooked in 2024 despite a record-setting senior year.
Dart started to get some recognition as Ole Miss climbed into the Top 10 and the College Football Playoff discussion, but his profile sank again with the loss to Florida. By the end of the week of practice prior to the 2025 Reese’s Senior Bowl, we began to hear chatter that Dart could be the second quarterback behind Cam Ward on some teams’ boards.
