Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart declared for the 2025 NFL draft in a pair of social media posts on Friday.

Dart confirmed that he still plans on suiting up during the Rebels' upcoming clash with Duke in the Gator Bowl on Jan. 2.

The 21-year-old was ranked as the No. 6 quarterback and No. 55 overall player in the 2025 draft class on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department.

Mississippi wasn't able to clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff due to a Nov. 23 loss to Florida, but Dart still played a major role on the team that led the SEC in scoring with an average of 37.5 points per game.

In 12 appearances, he completed 68.6 percent of his throws for a conference-leading 3,875 yards to go along with 25 touchdowns compared to just six interceptions. Dart also made plays with his legs, rushing for 452 yards and three more scores.

In his three seasons with the Rebels, he became the school's new all-time leader in career passing yards.

B/R NFL Scout Dame Parson highlighted the signal-caller's pocket presence as well as his variety of arm angles while throwing in his scouting report.

"Dart uses multiple arm angles/slots to fit passes based on defender location," Parson wrote. "He throws with a quick, sound, and snappy release when kept clean in the pocket. If there is no pass rush or pressure threat, Dart is patient in the pocket to survey the field and go through his reads."

In the final contest of Dart's college career, he'll look to overcome a Blue Devils' secondary that allowed just 194.8 passing yards per game in 2024.
