No. 4 – Jaxson Dart

Year: Junior

Team: Ole Miss Rebels

2022 Passing Stats: 226 completions, 2,974 yards, 20 touchdowns

Jaxson Dart was pretty darn good in his first season in Lane Kiffin’s offense at Ole Miss. The transfer from USC immediately filled the void left by Matt Corral and led the Rebels to a fast start in 2022.

Ole Miss was 7-0 and in control of their SEC West destiny heading into Baton Rouge on October 22nd. However, the LSU Tigers had other plans and disposed of the Rebels 45-20. Nevertheless, Dart’s 2022 was the 6th-best for a quarterback in Ole Miss history.

Kiffin added transfer quarterbacks Spencer Sanders and Walker Howard to his roster for 2023. We expect both to push for playing time throughout the season and bring out the best in Dart.
