Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is gearing up for a huge season. The Rebels were huge winners in the transfer portal, and many are wondering if they can contend for the SEC title. Dart is a big reason for the hype as well. Last season with Ole Miss, he threw for 3,364 yards and 23 touchdowns against five interceptions. With the rise in NIL deals, Dart signed one of the most unique to date: a deal with a private jet company.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart Signs NIL Deal With Private Jet Company

Dart signed with Nicholas Air, and it was announced today. He will use the private jets for travel, training, and philanthropy. This is the first deal of its kind. The Ole Miss quarterback is no stranger to private jets as he previously partnered with Wheels Up and The Brandr Group. He is now a pioneer in the NIL landscape, and his value has increased dramatically.

Dart’s NIL Value

According to On3’s NIL rankings, Dart is eighth with a value of $1.4 million. This is a massive profile, and it is by no means the best in the nation. Colorado and Texas dominate the rankings. Shedeur Sanders is the first with a $4.7 million NIL value. Arch Manning is next at $2.8 million, and Travis Hunter is close behind at $2.3 million. Quarterback Quinn Ewers rounds out the top four at $1.9 million. There is a lot of money going around in college football right now.

Jaxson Dart hopes this deal is just the beginning. If Ole Miss is able to burst onto the national stage, the quarterback will only become more marketable.
