Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has been a hot commodity since his final season with the Rebels ended, with some believing that he could end up as a top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, including Ben Garrett from On3 Sports. On Thursday, Garrett spoke with Q Myers from the "Locked On Raiders Podcast" and stated that Dart was drawing interest from the Las Vegas Raiders, who have the No. 6 pick.
"He said he's gonna be attending the draft, so that tells you where he thinks this thing's kind of headed," said Garrett. "And the Raiders are another top 30 visit that he's supposed to be taking as well."
The Raiders would be a great landing spot for Dart as he would be paired with Super Bowl-winning coach Pete Carroll, who once employed Lane Kiffin at the University of Southern California. He may have to wait a few years to play behind Geno Smith, but he could do far worse than learning behind one of the league's most accurate quarterbacks.
Las Vegas also has a stellar pass-catching duo in Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, who could be great targets for Dart in the years to come. It's just a top 30 visit, but this news, paired with Dart attending the draft, increases the likelihood that he'll end up in the iconic Silver and Black next fall.
