Jaxson Dart American Football Quarterback for the New York Giants

Jaxson Chase Dart, born May 13, 2003, is an American professional football quarterback who plays for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). A strong-armed, mobile passer, Dart first gained national attention at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, where he threw for 67 touchdowns and nearly 4,500 yards as a senior, earning Gatorade National Player of the Year honors in 2020.

After a decorated prep career, Dart enrolled at the University of Southern California in 2021. As a true freshman he appeared in six games, flashing poise and improvisational skill that hinted at future stardom. Seeking more playing time and a scheme tailored to his dual-threat abilities, he transferred to the University of Mississippi in 2022. Under head coach Lane Kiffin, Dart blossomed into one of college football’s most productive quarterbacks, amassing more than 9,000 total yards and 70 touchdowns over two seasons with the Rebels. His combination of quick processing, intermediate accuracy, and second-reaction creativity drew comparisons to Tony Romo and drew steady attention from NFL scouts.

Dart declared for the NFL Draft following his junior season and was selected by the New York Giants in the second round. Standing 6 ft 3 in and weighing 225 lb, he immediately competed for the starting job, impressing coaches with his rapid command of the playbook and leadership in the huddle. Off the field, Dart is known for his calm demeanor and meticulous preparation, often arriving at the facility before sunrise to dissect film. With a cannon arm and competitive fire, he is viewed as the franchise quarterback the Giants have sought since the Eli Manning era.
