Dart has a connection with Manning and his family, who've been supporting him since he transferred to Ole Miss before the 2022 season.

Jaxson Dart spent three seasons at Ole Miss, working under Lane Kiffin. A benefit of playing for the Rebels is building a few key relationships — none more prominent than the Manning family. Both Eli and Archie spent their playing days in Oxford and are still supportive of the program.

Giants legend Eli Manning, who also played for Ole Miss, has already admitted he likes Dart to The New York Post last week. “I’ve been around him and [he’s] been a great kid, been in the same offense for three years and been successful,” Manning said. “Seen him grow and progress and seems to be able to make all the throws.’’
