In a moment that has sent waves of excitement through the Ole Miss Rebels football program and the broader NCAA community, Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin has officially announced that sophomore quarterback Jaxson Dart will be the team’s starting quarterback for the 2025 season. The news has sparked an outpouring of joy and optimism among fans, players, and analysts alike, as Dart’s potential and recent performances have set the stage for what could be an electrifying season for the Rebels.
For months, the quarterback battle at Ole Miss had been one of the most discussed topics in college football. With Dart competing against talented players in a high-stakes preseason, the decision on who would lead the offense was eagerly anticipated. Now, with the announcement from Kiffin, the Ole Miss faithful can breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to a new era of leadership at the quarterback position.
Lane Kiffin’s Announcement
During a press conference earlier today, Kiffin made the long-awaited announcement with a smile that reflected his belief in Dart’s potential. “We’ve seen everything we need to see from Jaxson over the past year and in camp this season,” Kiffin said, with excitement in his voice. “His growth, leadership, and ability to make plays have earned him the starting spot, and I have full confidence in him to lead this team forward.”
The announcement was met with cheers from the Rebels’ fanbase, who have witnessed Dart’s development since his arrival at Ole Miss in 2023. His strong arm, poise under pressure, and ability to make dynamic plays have made him a fan favorite and a rising star in college football. However, the competition for the starting role had remained fierce, as other talented quarterbacks on the roster also showed their worth.
Jaxson Dart’s Journey to the Starting Role
Dart’s journey to the starting role has been one of growth and determination. After transferring from USC, where he showed flashes of brilliance but lacked consistent playing time, Dart came to Ole Miss with something to prove. He impressed during his first season with the Rebels in 2024, showcasing his arm strength, mobility, and playmaking ability. Despite some growing pains, Dart quickly established himself as one of the most promising quarterbacks in the SEC.
In the 2024 season, Dart threw for over 2,800 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. He also added 400 yards rushing, making him a dual-threat quarterback who can hurt defenses in multiple ways. However, it was his leadership and maturity on and off the field that ultimately convinced Kiffin and the coaching staff that Dart was the right choice to be the face of the offense moving forward.
Kiffin, known for his offensive prowess and ability to develop quarterbacks, has been instrumental in guiding Dart’s progression. “Jaxson has put in the work, and it’s paying off,” Kiffin said. “He’s shown that he’s ready for this moment, and we’re all excited to see him take the next step in his career.”
The Excitement from the Ole Miss and NCAA Communities
The announcement has sent shockwaves of excitement through the Ole Miss Rebels football program and the broader NCAA community. Rebels fans, who have been eagerly awaiting a quarterback who can lead them to new heights, are now more optimistic than ever about the team’s chances in the upcoming season.
NCAA analysts have praised the decision, noting that Dart’s dual-threat ability gives Ole Miss an edge in an increasingly competitive SEC. “Jaxson Dart is one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the nation,” said one prominent NCAA analyst. “With Lane Kiffin calling the shots, the Rebels are poised for a breakout year, and Dart will be at the center of it all.”
A New Era for Ole Miss Football
With Dart officially named the starting quarterback, the stage is now set for a new era of Ole Miss football. Kiffin’s offensive scheme has always been one of high-octane play, and with Dart at the helm, the Rebels are expected to be one of the most exciting teams to watch in college football this season. Dart’s ability to make big plays with both his arm and his legs will be critical to Ole Miss’ success, especially in an SEC that is as competitive as ever.
For Ole Miss fans, this is the moment they’ve been waiting for. The program has a quarterback with the potential to lead them to championships and make a run at the College Football Playoff. Dart’s leadership, combined with Kiffin’s innovative offense, has everyone in Oxford excited for what’s to come.
Looking Ahead
As the 2025 season approaches, the expectations for Jaxson Dart are sky-high. With a talented roster surrounding him and Kiffin’s guidance, Dart has all the tools to be one of the top quarterbacks in college football. The announcement of his starting role is just the beginning, and the Rebels are poised to make a statement in the SEC and beyond.
