Report: Jaxson Dart, Michael Trigg narrow transfer destination list to two
USC football transfers Jaxson Dart and Michael Trigg are down to two schools, per On3’s Gerry Hamilton. The pair will attend either Oklahoma or Ole Miss in 2022.
Dart and Trigg made visits to both schools over the weekend, and it apparently made an impression on them. The two former Trojans are among the most sought-after players in the transfer portal, along with Sooners quarterback Caleb Williams.
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.
Trigg, the No. 4 tight end in the 2021 class according to On3 Consensus, had seven catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. Although the two have not officially said they will attend the same school, it should be noted they were roommates in Los Angeles.
Trigg tweeted a video of the pair in Sooners uniforms following the visit to Norman.
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.
Both Oklahoma and Ole Miss are in need of a starting quarterback for different reasons. In the Sooners case, both Williams and Spencer Rattler transferred. OU already gained a commitment from UCF transfer Dillon Gabriel, but would still welcome a player of Dart’s caliber.
Ole Miss star quarterback Matt Corral is expected to be a first round pick in the NFL draft. Lane Kiffin is entering his third season as the Rebels’ coach after a 10-3 finish in 2021. The Sooners hired Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables to take Riley’s place. It will be his first season as a head coach.
