PHILADELPHIA — Former Roy and Corner Canyon High quarterback Jaxson Dart had his fourth game with both a passing and a rushing touchdown in the Giants’ loss to the Eagles in week eight.

Dart completed 14 of his 24 pass attempts for 193 yards and one touchdown. He added six carries for 17 yards and a score with his legs.

Jaxson Dart, Giants Drop Second Straight

Two weeks ago, New York shocked Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football.

That loss clearly simmered in the minds of the Eagles. They came out of the gates strong and built an early lead.

After the opening Philly score, Dart and the Giants quickly responded with a six-play drive that ended in a Cam Skattebo receiving touchdown.

It went downhill fast from there.

Philadelphia would outscore New York 31-6 over the next three quarters. All of the Eagles’ playmakers came to play. Six of the teams’ eight drives ended in points.

Late in the fourth, Dart followed his blockers in the red zone and punched in his fourth rushing score of the season.

The Giants will return home to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, November 2.

About Jaxson Dart

Dart was born in Kaysville, Utah, where he eventually attended Roy High School. He transferred to Corner Canyon before his senior season.

In 2020 with the Chargers, Dart threw for 4,691 yards and a state-record 67 touchdowns. As a four-star prospect, he committed to USC.

He played just six games with the Trojans, where he completed 117 of his 189 pass attempts for 1,353 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions. On the ground, Dart ran the ball 22 times for 43 yards and two touchdowns.

Dart packed his bags and traded Los Angeles sunshine for the college football haven that is the SEC and Ole Miss.

He closed out his collegiate career playing in 39 games for the Rebels with 38 starts. He completed 735 of his 1118 attempts for 10,617 yards and 72 touchdowns.

Ole Miss went 28-10 with Dart at the helm, including a Peach Bowl win in 2024 and a Gator Bowl win in 2025.

Dart’s college accolades include Gator Bowl MVP, 2024 Conerly Trophy Winner, 2024 All-America Honorable Mention, 2024 All-SEC First Team, 2024 CFN SEC QB of the Year, 2024 Manning Award Finalist, and 2024 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award Finalist.

Dart completed 32-of-47 passes (68.1 percent) for 372 yards and three touchdowns in his first preseason, but more importantly, the rookie signal-caller did not commit a turnover in his first test against NFL defenses.

He entered the regular season as QB2 on the Giants’ depth chart. After a 0-3 start with Russell Wilson under center, the Giants gave Dart his first start in week four.
