Dart’s Scouting Report and Measurements
Here is a portion of what Cummings had to say in his scouting report on Dart:
- Height: 6’2″
- Weight: 220 pounds
- Position: Quarterback
- School: Ole Miss
- Current Year: Senior
“If his last name wasn’t evidence enough, Dart was born to be a quarterback. As a senior at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, he broke the state record for passing touchdowns in a season with 67 and also threw for 4,691 yards — winning the Gatorade Player of the Year award at a national level.
Across the board, Dart was a four-star recruit and a top-100 talent, and he has some fringe five-star recognition from various outlets. Dart committed to USC and started three games as a true freshman in relief of Kedon Slovis, throwing for 1,353 yards, nine touchdowns, and five interceptions.
After an overhaul led Lincoln Riley and Caleb Williams to USC, Dart transferred to Ole Miss in the 2022 offseason, succeeding third-round 2022 NFL Draft selection Matt Corral as Lane Kiffin’s starting QB.
Dart’s first year with the Rebels was up and down. The team went 7-5 under his watch, while he himself completed 62.4% of his passes for 2,964 yards, 20 TDs, and 11 INTs. But in 2023, Dart took a step up and brought the Rebels to the brink of playoff contention.
In 2023, Dart completed 233 of 358 pass attempts (65.1%) for 3,364 yards, 23 scores, and just five picks. On the ground, he added 389 yards and eight additional TDs. Dart led Ole Miss to an 11-2 record and a Peach Bowl victory over Penn State, earning honorable mention All-SEC recognition at College Football Network.”
