The season of giving is here, and it looks like Ole Miss is getting a head start. What has QB Jaxson Dart not done for the Rebels? You know the revenge win Lane Kiffin got over Georgia this season? Yeah, that absolute 28-10 disaster game for the Dawgs? Thank Jaxson Dart for it. The entire recruitment for the D-line and O-line was done by Dart along with Kiffin. This guy went out there and made people believe that Ole Miss is going for the natty. While the natty dream didn’t come true, they still managed to bring a ton of joy to Oxford. Now, it looks like Jaxson Dart is bringing joy to a ton of children as well.
And this ain’t even the first time Dart has been involved with community service. Remember the Tim Tebow Foundation’s “Night to Shine” prom? An event held exclusively for special needs students from high schools? Yes, Dart was also a part of that.
Also, the entire Jackson water crisis? When floodwaters broke down the Jackson water treatment plant? Dart was a part of the entire “water collection” drive and helped out with the entire process.
It ain’t no wonder why this guy was named as the finalist for the William V. Campbell trophy. Often regarded as the “Academic Heisman”. While Bama QB Jalen Milroe managed to win that one, Dart still got home with an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship. All that is left is to watch this guy give Kiffin one more win before he leaves for the NFL draft.
This had to be one of the most disappointing losses in Kiffin’s career. Not only did Billy Napier manage to secure a 24-17 win against a team that was coming after a win over Georgia, but they also did it with their backup QB.
Before the drafts start, Dart has one last chance to make Kiffin proud at the Gators Bowl. At first glance, winning against Duke should be easy. This is the same team that almost managed to lose to a subpar UNC team.
Then again, nothing is written in stone. If Dart makes the same mistakes he did against the Gators? then it is pretty much done for. We cannot wait to see how the 2024 season of college football ends for Lane Kiffin and Jaxson Dart.
