In a stunning turn of events, Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin shocked reporters during a press conference earlier today, revealing unexpected news regarding starting quarterback Jaxson Dart. Kiffin confirmed that Dart, who has been a pivotal player for the Rebels this season, is facing an undisclosed medical issue that could impact his status for the remainder of the season.
“We just received some news on Jaxson, and it’s something we weren’t anticipating,” Kiffin said, visibly concerned. “I can’t go into too much detail right now, but it’s significant, and it’s definitely going to affect how we approach the rest of the season. We’ll be working closely with the medical team to determine the next steps.”
Dart, a standout performer for Ole Miss, has thrown for over 2,500 yards and 22 touchdowns this year, playing a key role in the team’s high-scoring offense. His leadership and athleticism have been a driving force behind the Rebels’ success. However, Kiffin declined to specify whether the injury would sideline Dart for any games, leaving many to speculate about the quarterback’s availability moving forward.
“I’m sure this is going to be a tough time for Jaxson and our team,” Kiffin continued. “He’s been an essential part of what we’ve done this year. Our priority is getting him healthy and ensuring the best outcome for both him and the team.”
The news comes as Ole Miss prepares for a crucial game against rival Mississippi State in the upcoming Egg Bowl. The Rebels, currently positioned near the top of the SEC standings, face significant pressure as they attempt to keep their playoff hopes alive without their star quarterback.
Stay tuned for further updates as more details emerge about Dart’s condition.
