USC quarterback transfer Jaxson Dart shared photos of himself wearing an Ole Miss uniform Saturday via Twitter. Dart and Trojans teammate Michael Trigg are reportedly deciding between the Rebels and Oklahoma as a transfer destination.

Two of the photos show Dart in a full Ole Miss football uniform, pads and helmet included. He also posted a picture in a Rebels basketball jersey, posing for a dunk over Trigg. The quarterback tagged Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin and passing coordinator John David Baker in the tweet.

A true freshman in 2021, Dart started three games for the Trojans this past season. He played in six games total, finishing with 1,353 yards passing, nine touchdowns and five interceptions. His best game came on Sept. 18 against Washington State, as he threw for a season-high 391 yards and four touchdowns.

Prior to joining USC, Dart earned several accolades while playing for Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah. He was named the 2020 Gatorade Player of the Year, Max Preps National Player of the Year and Sports Illustrated All-America first team. Corner Canyon claimed a 6A title his senior season as Dart broke the Utah state record with 67 passing touchdowns.

A four-star recruit, Dart chose the Trojans over offers from Iowa State, UCLA, Yale and others. He was the No. 45 overall prospect in the 2021 class according to On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Ole Miss is in need of a starting quarterback for the upcoming season with Matt Corral set to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL draft. He helped the Rebels to finish as the top offense in the SEC (and No. 6 in the country), throwing for 3,343 yards and scoring 31 total touchdowns. They reached 10 wins for first time since 2015 and just the third time since 2000.

If Jaxson Dart chooses Ole Miss, he will join Lane Kiffin for his third season in Oxford. The coach seems to have the program moving upward, and landing a player of Dart’s caliber would only add to the anticipation for next season.
