BREAKING: Ole Miss Quarterback Jaxson Dart Declines Interest from Two NFL Teams, Commits to Another Season with Rebels
In a surprising turn of events, Ole Miss star quarterback Jaxson Dart has officially turned down interest from two NFL teams, choosing instead to return to Oxford for another season. The rising talent, who many believed was ready to take the next step toward a professional career, has made it clear that he’s not done making an impact at the college level.
Reports indicate that Dart received strong interest from at least two NFL franchises ahead of the draft, both eager to bring the young quarterback into their organizations. However, Dart has decided to remain with the Rebels, citing “unfinished business” and a desire to further develop his game and leadership on the field.
His return is a huge win for Ole Miss, as Dart has become the cornerstone of the team’s offense and a fan favorite due to his impressive performances and competitive spirit. In 2024, he led the Rebels to several key victories and consistently displayed maturity and poise under pressure.
Dart’s decision highlights a growing trend among top college players choosing to delay their NFL dreams in favor of more time at the collegiate level—often motivated by team loyalty, personal growth, and favorable NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) opportunities.
Speaking on his return, Dart said he believes the team can accomplish something special this season and that he feels a deep connection to his teammates and the Ole Miss community. His leadership is expected to be a critical factor in the Rebels’ upcoming campaign.
For fans and teammates alike, Dart’s commitment is not only a testament to his character but also a signal that Ole Miss is aiming high in the upcoming season.
