Ever met a person who can ace business exams on Monday after slinging a touchdown on Saturday? Jaxson Dart is the guy quietly doing both. And he’s certainly getting the attention of scouts, fans, and media alike. Whether he’s signing deals or breaking records, rest assured you don’t want to scroll past his story. Stick around. What he’s doing off the field might just give steep competition to what he’s doing on it. 

What is Jaxson Dart’s GPA?

Brains and brawn—Dart is not just throwing in touchdowns; he’s also equally putting in efforts to stack top grades. The quarterback of the Ole Miss Rebels has recently made waves with his football stats at the Senior Bowl. But what has turned the heads of fans isn’t just his spirals but his impressive GPA. In the classroom, he has earned a 3.71 GPA as a general business major and is on pace for graduating in May 2025. Furthermore, in addition to appearances on the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll and the SEC Honor Roll, he was named to the Chancellor’s and Dean’s Honor Rolls twice each. He was also named a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which is a recognition for the student-athletes that excel in academics. Matt DeGregorio, sports news anchor, has also highlighted Dart for his compassion towards his fans, which demonstrates his humility. 

At the collegiate level, he has had a lot of success as a “versatile” quarterback. Apart from just throwing for almost 12,000 yards, he has also rushed for over 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns in his four years of collegiate ball. Furthermore, Lane Kiffin, the head coach of Ole Miss, shared a heartfelt moment with Dart. After the team’s final game, Kiffing couldn’t help but rave about Dart’s character both as a player and as a person. “The quarterback, you know, he’s just — he’s awesome. There’s a way you want your son to be; that’s what you want to have. Complete team player. Doesn’t care about stats, anything. His emotion at the end of the game. Just tried to help him keep it together. Because he cares, man. He cares about this team; he cares about this university,” said Kiffin. 

Translation? He’s a great human being with focus balanced in both Gridiron and beyond. Also, it’s worthy to note that during the Senior Bowl week, the academic achievement surfaced. This phase is a crucial one for players due to scouts’ evaluations, which are based on different aspects like leadership, off-field intelligence, and discipline. For Dart specifically, his GPA speaks volumes about his maturity and work ethic. It’s a statement, more than just mere numbers. 

How much are Jaxson Dart’s NIL deals worth? Endorsements & sponsorships

Dart is not just shining in the game zone. He’s also winning big in the areas off the gridiron too. All thanks to the era of NIL. He has certainly signed an NIL deal “over $100,000 in value” with Mississippi-based company C Spire. It’s basically a telecommunication company based in Ridgeland. And signed for appearing in a number of ads for the company on social media. With multiple partnerships on his docket, this has been a lucrative deal for Dart, including one with Nicholas Air since February. His ever-growing image in the eyes of the public is the major reason behind the company ties or collaboration with him. 

Since his arrival at Ole Miss in 2022, he has led the team to their first 11-win season in program history (2023). And in the early 2024 campaign, he was a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy. Wait, there’s even more to his feat. He previously signed with Dick’s Sporting Goods, with the total value of the deal estimated to be in the $100,000 range. Dart’s social media fan base is huge, with 143,000 followers. And he’s also poised to capitalize on his NIL brand. The 21-year-old holds an NIL valuation of $1.3 million with deals like Ole Miss’ The Groove Collective, EA Sports, and others. Multiple outlets have confirmed that he’s comfortably earning in the range of six figures, proving his efforts towards building both a legacy on the field along with a brand in the business world. 

Jaxson Dart’s 2025 NFL draft possibilities 

Dart’s name is echoing in the NFL draft circles along with a swirling buzz. He is a strong prospect for the 2025 NFL draft. However, as per the recent reports, the jersey no. 2 will not be there in the 2025 NFL draft upon calling up his name. It seems he apparently changed his mind. Initially, the NFL draft listed Dart as one of the 17 players in Green Bay. Upon getting a vision of an updated list put out by the NFL, two names—Georgia pass rusher Mykel Williams and Dart—were not there. However, Dart’s decision wasn’t backed up with any solid reason. But his combination of arm talent, athleticism, and football IQ certainly confirm his trajectory to be slightly upwards. 

His standout season at Ole Miss in 2023 has put him squarely under the spotlight. He has made his way with 13 games in the season, completing 233 passes out of 358 attempted. Standing at 6’2” and weighing 215 lbs, he has covered 3,364 yards and made 23 touchdowns, demonstrating a top-tier bowl game. And let’s not forget about his academic edge, proving he’s got brains behind the bombs on the ground. Bottom line? Dart is NFL-bound, but it’s just a matter of time.
