Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has added another prestigious accolade to his impressive collegiate résumé, securing the 2024 National Football Foundation (NFF) Trophy. The award, which recognizes outstanding athletic and academic achievements, solidifies Dart’s place among the most well-rounded student-athletes in college football.
Dart’s journey to this honor has been nothing short of remarkable. After transferring from USC to Ole Miss, he quickly established himself as the leader of Lane Kiffin’s high-powered offense. Throughout the 2023 season, Dart showcased his ability to make big plays with both his arm and legs, earning him national recognition and propelling the Rebels to one of their most successful campaigns in recent history.
The NFF Trophy, however, is not just about on-field excellence. It also celebrates academic performance, leadership, and character—qualities that Dart has exemplified throughout his career. Known for his dedication in the classroom, he has maintained an impressive GPA while balancing the demands of being a starting quarterback in the SEC. His leadership extends beyond the field, as he has been actively involved in community service initiatives, mentoring young athletes, and representing Ole Miss with class.
Receiving the NFF Trophy places Dart in elite company, as past winners have gone on to have successful NFL careers and make significant impacts off the field. His selection further cements his reputation as not only one of the top quarterbacks in college football but also as a role model for future student-athletes.
As Dart prepares for the next chapter of his career—whether it be another season at Ole Miss or an early jump to the NFL—this latest recognition serves as proof of his hard work, determination, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
