During his senior year, Dart broke Utah’s single-season touchdown record with 67. The Chargers are Utah’s 6A State champions thanks in large part to Dart’s 4,691 passing yards.
Prior to Dart’s touchdown record, former Lehi quarterback Cammon Cooper held ownership of the record since 2017. Cooper now plays for the Washington State Cougars.
