Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart selected by New York Giants in 2025 NFL Draft
The first Ole Miss player selected in the 2025 NFL Draft has been revealed to be quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Dart was selected by the New York Giants as the 25th overall pick in the first round. He is the first Rebels quarterback to be drafted in the first round since the Giants took Eli Manning in 2004.
The quarterback position was one that featured a lot of intrigue heading into this draft with Dart in the mix with Colorado’s Shadeur Sanders and Miami’s Cam Ward as the top three quarterbacks available this year.
Now starting his professional career Dart departed Ole Miss as one of the program’s best players to play the quarterback position in its history.
