Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart is preparing for his third season with Lane Kiffin's Rebels. The 21-year-old has been the primary starter for the team over the past two campaigns. Dart is now looking to end his collegiate career successfully before beginning his transition into the NFL.
During a recent interaction with J.D. Pickell, Dart shared his thoughts on how the team is handling the expectations set by fans ahead of the new 12-team playoff format. Dart said he is confident with the team and the recruits who joined during the offseason. He also heaped praise on Lane Kiffin's efforts in creating a "winning culture" in the program to bring in top talents across the country.
"I think it's just a super fun time to be an Ole Miss Rebel," Dart said. "There's just a ton of excitement around the program and I think in the facility in the locker room like we have an overwhelming amount of confidence. I think you see it most from you know who we got in this transfer portal class.
"I mean we have the highest rated class and got dudes who could've went anywhere in the country but they decided to come to Ole Miss. I think that a lot about where the program's at and I think highlights a ton about how tremendous of a job coach Kiffin has done in creating a winning culture... We're ready for the last dance and we want to take full advantage of it."
Kiffin has used the offseason to revamp his roster with the addition of several talented players like Trey Amos, Walter Nolen and others. With new talents in place, Jaxson Dart and the Rebels will be looking to compete for a spot in the playoffs after securing an 11-2 campaign and a Peach Bowl victory last season.
Jaxson Dart has high praise for Alabama QB Jalen Milroe
If there is one quarterback that Dart admires in the SEC, it is Jalen Milroe.
In a tweet by Touchdown Alabama, Dart labeled Milroe as a "monster" on the field during the 2024 SEC media days. He also praised Milroe's personality and believes he will be a game-changer for the Crimson Tide in their first season under Nick Saban's successor Kalen DeBoer.
"He is a monster," Dart said. "He is defnitely a guy who passes the eye test from a physical ability approach, but he's also a very genuine dude. He has been a stud and he is gonna be a baller for Alabama this year for sure."
Jaxson Dart got the opportunity to spend time with Jalen Milroe in 2024 at Manning Passing Academy. So he is aware of the type of competition he can expect in the SEC this upcoming season.
