He came away from his Ole Miss visit impressed with the staff's plan for him, including the vision set out by new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and passing game coordinator John David Baker.On his visit to Ole Miss, Dart came to appreciate the tight-knit nature of the community in Oxford, Mississippi, and how important the program is in the area.
"I really favored Ole Miss the whole time I was in the portal because of my relationship with coach Kiffin and [Baker]," Trigg said."I got in the portal with Jaxson and I feel like with him throwing me the ball, we'll be great anywhere. But I think Ole Miss is the perfect fit for us." Dart also had the option to return to USC. The new USC coaching staff made it clear to Dart that he was welcome back to compete for the starting job. But he and his family felt more comfortable going to a place where he'd better be able to control his future.
