JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart won the 2024 C Spire Conerly Trophy.

Dart was awarded at a ceremony Tuesday night at the Sheraton Flowood, the fourth time in the last five years that the Conerly Trophy will belong to the Rebels.

The award celebrates the state’s top football talent each season. The other finalists for the Conerly Trophy were Jackson State’s Irv Mulligan and Mississippi State’s Isaac Smith.

Dart, a native of Kaysville, Utah, is in his third season as Ole Miss’ starting quarterback in 2024 after transferring from USC his freshman season in 2021.

This season, Dart has led Ole Miss to a current No. 13 CFP ranking.

He has taken hold of Ole Miss career marks in total offense (11,668), passing yards, 300-yard passing games (14) and rushing yards by a QB (1,455), and he currently ranks first on the career lists in passing efficiency and total offense per play (8.09).
