ESPN’s Chris Low spoke to Dart, who told him that he is heading to Ole Miss to continue his football career. Throughout the recruiting process, Dart went on his visits with tight end Michael Trigg.
Former USC quarterback Jaxson Dart tells ESPN he will play at @OleMissFB next season and is enrolled in school. The 6-3, 215-pound Dart passed for 1,353 yards and nine TDs in six games as a freshman. He’s a great fit for @Lane_Kiffin’s system with his arm strength and mobility.

Make it two talented USC transfers headed to @OleMissFB. Tight end Michael Trigg joins quarterback Jaxson Dart in telling me today that he will be playing for the Rebels next season. @Lane_Kiffin is compiling one of the premier transfer portal classes in the country.

After Dart entered the NCAA’s Transfer Portal following the conclusion of the 2021 season, teams from all over the country expressed interest in the quarterback’s talents.
Dart ultimately chose Mississippi over BYU and Oklahoma, the two other schools he’d visited earlier in January.
