Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart<\/a><\/strong> set the Ole Miss single-season passing yardage record and total offense record as the Rebels went up 17-0<\/a> on Duke in the Gator Bowl. He set the records with a completion to tight end Caden Prieskorn<\/a><\/strong> in the 2nd quarter.<\/p>\n

Former Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly held the single-season passing record with 4,042 yards. Dart\u2019s always just enjoyed playing ball out there and on Thursday, he\u2019s having a lot of fun with a big early lead over Duke.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never even thought about it,\u201d Dart said on Tuesday after the penultimate practice of his Ole Miss career. \u201cThere\u2019s times they would come in and I had no idea I\u2019d even broke that one. I\u2019ve really just had fun being out there playing. There\u2019s been a little talk about it among the coaches but it\u2019s never been a thought for me going into games.\u201d<\/p>\n

With his touchdown pass to Dae\u2019Quan Wright to go up 24-7 in the 2nd quarter, Dart passed Dak Prescott for 5th on the SEC career total offense list. He passed Jared Lorenzen earlier Thursday for 8th in SEC history in passing yards.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been an unreal run for Jaxson Dart in Oxford since transferring from USC. He leaves Ole Miss as its leader in wins (27), passing (10,213) and total offense (11,668). Dart entered the game with leading the FBS in total offense (360.6) and yards\/attempt (10.7). He owns each of the top-two total offense and passing performances in Ole Miss bowl history.<\/p>\n

Dart earned and accepted an invite to February\u2019s Reese\u2019s Senior Bowl. This will be his first chance to be in front of NFL scouts, coaches and executives for a week as it is the start of the 2025 NFL Draft process. According to Mel Kiper, Jr.<\/a>, the program\u2019s all-time leading passer ranked inside his Top 10 passers.<\/p>\n

\u201cJaxson Dart is a physically talented quarterback with plus-level playmaking ability,\u201d Bleacher Report\u2019s scouting report of Dart reads. \u201cDart excels at throwing isolated and schemed-up routes between the hashes in the middle of the field. He tends to attack one-on-one matchups. He identifies these favorable matchups pre-snap and gives his wide receivers a chance to make a play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dart played in part to help grab a 10th win this season, which would give head coach Lane Kiffin his third 10-win season and the first consecutive ones at Ole Miss since 1959-60.<\/p>\n

Dart this season became the school\u2019s all-time leader in career passing yards. He passed Eli Manning. His 10,213 yards are the 10th-most in SEC history. He\u2019s thrown for 68 touchdowns and rushed for 1,455 career yards and 12 additional scores.<\/p>\n
