Headed for NFL ranks
Dart has officially declared for the 2025 NFL Draft, per a post on his personal X account.
ANALYSIS
While Dart isn't viewed in the upper echelon of quarterbacks -- considered to consist of Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward -- early in the draft process, he could state his case to move up on draft boards with strong showings at the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine. Dart is still likely to hear his name called within the first couple of rounds of the draft, but there is a long way to go before a consensus forms, likely closer to April. After joining USC as part of the 2021 class, Dart saw action in six games as a freshman with the Trojans but elected to transfer to Ole Miss prior to 2022 after USC hired a new head coach in Lincoln Riley, who brought Bears quarterback and 2024 first-overall pick Caleb Williams with him to Pasadena. Dart went on to complete 65.7 percent of his 1,118 pass attempts for 10,617 yards and a 72:22 TD:INT ratio over three seasons under Lane Kiffin, adding 371 rush attempts for another 1,500 yards and 12 scores. He capped off his career with his best season to date, throwing for 4,279 yards and a 29:6 TD:INT ratio in 2024. Dart concluded his senior season by leading Ole Miss to 52-20 victory over Duke in the Gator Bowl, throwing for 404 yards and four touchdowns in the contest.

Might be headed for first round
Field Yates of ESPN predicts the Steelers will select Dart with the 21st overall pick in his mock draft published Feb. 11.
ANALYSIS
Quarterbacks often see their perceived value skyrocket during the pre-draft process, and Dart could benefit from that trend in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Ole Miss product is projected to be the third quarterback off the board after Colorado's Shadeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward, so a team in desperate need of a quarterback might target him later in the first round. The Steelers currently fit that description, as both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are set to become free agents, though one of them could be re-signed before the draft.
