Former USC QB Jaxson Dart officially enrolled at Ole Miss
Former USC QB Jaxson Dart officially enrolled at Ole Miss
Jan. 28—OXFORD — Former USC quarterback Jaxson Dart is enrolled as a student at Ole Miss, according to the university's student directory.
Sports Illustrated, Rebel Grove and BroBible first reported the news.
Dart has not made an official announcement yet.
Dart was both the Gatorade and MaxPreps National Player of the Year in 2020 at Corner Canyon High in Utah and was a four-star prospect in the 2021 class. He threw for 4,691 yards and 67 touchdowns as a senior and ran for an additional 1,195 yards and 12 scores.
He graduated from the same high school former BYU star and No. 2 selection in the 2021 NFL Draft (New York Jets) Zach Wilson attended.
Dart started his college career as a backup to Trojans' star Kedon Slovis but ended up taking the job due to injuries to Slovis. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Dart threw for 1,353 yards and nine touchdowns as a true freshman in 2021. He started the final three games of the season for USC and will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Several quarterbacks in the transfer portal had been rumored targets for Ole Miss, who must replace star Matt Corral. Corral led the Rebels to a 10-3 record and No. 11 ranking in the final AP Poll. Former Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler and UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel had been linked to Ole Miss earlier this offseason but committed to South Carolina and Oklahoma, respectively. The Rebels were also one of the final choices for Incarnate Word's Cameron Ward. The FCS All-American wound up signing with Washington State.
True freshman Luke Altmyer relieved Corral in the Sugar Bowl following an ankle injury and saw the majority of the second-team reps under center throughout the season. The four-star recruit from Starkville threw for 192 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in five appearances in 2021.

Re: Former USC QB Jaxson Dart officially enrolled at Ole Miss
With three years of eligibility remaining, the QB situation at Ole Miss could get interesting. If Altmeyer does not get the starting role, then he may enter the transfer portal. If that happens, Ole Miss is once again dependent on a single QB to hold the reins and not get injured. Having Dart on the team is a really good thing for Ole Miss and shows that Kiffin is effectively using the portal as a recruiting tool.

Re: Former USC QB Jaxson Dart officially enrolled at Ole Miss
I dont see Luke transferring a anywhere in 2022, just too many variables. Lane won't announce a starter until game time of the first game IMO. If Luke is not the starter, he knows he is one injury or a bad few series away from being the starter. If he ever does transfer it would be after the 2022 season, because of good things for OM. Because Dart lit it up and had a great year and Luke knows that Dart is the no doubt starter for 2023.
I also hope Om picks up the Abraham kid as a walk on this summer, would be great depth
