Air Dart: Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart Signs Nation’s First NIL Private Jet Deal

OXFORD, Miss. — Air Dart is now a reality. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart has signed an NIL deal with Nicholas Air, creating the first such partnership with a college football player in history.

Nicholas Air is a private aviation company headquartered in Oxford, Mississippi.

Terms of the deal, facilitated by Everett Sports Marketing, indicate Dart will have hours using the company’s private jets for “travel, training and philanthropy.”

Last season, the Rebel QB threw for 3,364 yards and 23 touchdowns with just five interceptions as he led Ole Miss to an 11-2 record and Peach Bowl win over Penn State. The 11 wins are the most in school history.

When Dart announced he was returning to Oxford for his final season, he immediately vaulted to one of the best quarterbacks in the 2025 NFL Draft class. He is also a legitimate Heisman candidate.

The Rebels had never won 11 games in program history before last season.

With a returning cast of standouts in wide receivers Tre Harris and Jordan Watkins, tight end Caden Prieskorn, running back Ulysses Bentley IV, and the addition of some talented portal players, including offensive linemen, look for Jaxson Dart to once again lead one of the nation’s most prolific offenses.
