‘I’m a big Jaxson Dart fan’: A trip to the Manning Passing Academy with Jake Thompson Jun 24, 2023

Show notes

In this edition of Talk of Champions, Ben Garrett is joined by fellow Ole Miss Spirit staffer Jake Thompson, who is live from the Manning Passing Academy.

The MPA is held each summer at Nicholls State University — located in Louisiana, the home state of college football's first family — and has quickly become a must-attend event for the best quarterbacks in the country.

Jaxson Dart was expected to represent Ole Miss as a player and camp counselor this season. However, a knee tweak cancelled his plans. Still, Eli and Archie have thoughts on the one-time transfer from USC. Archie, in particular, is "a big fan" of the Rebels' incumbent starter.

He likes Howard, too. So does Eli, as well as LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Daniels was Howard's roommate last season. Daniels believes the future is bright for Howard, a former four-star recruit and Top 50 prospect.

Plus, the guys touch briefly on the recruitment of 2024 four-star and in-state wide receiver Braylon Burnside, who, this week, committed to rival Mississippi State. This podcast was recorded before that commitment.

Plus, Ole Miss Spirit contributor Bradley Sowell recently said the Rebel defense could be "rough" next season. Maybe, but the Rebels brought in 13 defensive transfers and only need to be competent on that side of the ball to possibly win nine games next season.

Allow us to explain.
