USC QB Jaxson Dart reportedly transferring to Ole Miss

A couple months after Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma to become the head coach at USC, ESPN reported Saturday that the Trojans' starting quarterback Jaxson Dart is transferring to Ole Miss.

Dart entered the transfer portal earlier this month immediately after former Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams visited USC. Williams entered the transfer portal in January and hasn't yet made a decision about his future school.

Ole Miss finished the 2021 season with a 10-3 record and lost in the Sugar Bowl to Baylor, 21-7. The Rebels were led by senior quarterback Matt Corral, who is projected to be a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. 

Dart earned snaps early in his true freshman season in 2021, but missed time after suffering a meniscus tear. He returned before the end of the season and finished the year as the Trojans' starter.
