The Ole Miss Rebels will be breaking in a lot of new faces on their 2025 football roster, and one of their first chances to begin that process comes with spring practice.
On Thursday, the Rebels officially announced their spring practice schedule with a post on Instagram. Ole Miss will have six practice days in March followed by nine in the month of April. You can view the practice dates below.

These dates will serve as the first experience in a Rebel practice uniform for some newcomers who joined the roster this offseason. Ole Miss once again reeled in one of the top transfer portal classes in the country following the 2024 campaign, and it also has added numerous early-enrollees out of the high school ranks who will be able to go through spring ball.
This will also be the first spring where Austin Simmons is likely viewed as the starting quarterback for the Rebels. Simmons is expected to take over that role from Jaxson Dart who is departing for the NFL this offseason, so spring will be a crucial time for Simmons to continue to establish himself as a leader both on and off the field for Ole Miss.
The 2025 season is still months away for the Rebels, but they are set to open their schedule at home against Georgia State on Aug. 30.
Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart Sends Message on Cowboys Amid Potential Interest
Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart will not only get the chance to showcase his skills and physical prowess during the workout portion of the NFL combine this week, but he’s also had the opportunity to meet with several NFL teams in Indianapolis. He spoke about his relationship with the Dallas Cowboys during his media availability on Friday.
“Yeah, I’ve met with them a little bit this week,” said Dart when asked if he’s spoken with the Cowboys. “It’s been great to form that relationship with them. … It’s been great to sit down with them and talk ball, and just start to build that relationship.”
Dart has been one of the hottest names in NFL Draft circles since his final season in Oxford ended. After a strong performance at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, the former Rebel headed to the NFL combine with much anticipation about how he’d perform.
Head coach Lane Kiffin recruited Dart through the transfer portal before the 2022 season and he broke almost every Rebels quarterback record in his three years with the program. He is not considered to be the prospect that Eli Manning was coming out of Ole Miss, but there is speculation that Dart could end up being a late first-round pick.
The Dallas Cowboys, however, could select Dart with the No. 44 pick in the draft if he is still available. Dart ending up in Dallas would mean it’ll be a few years until he is a starting NFL quarterback, but he’d have the opportunity to learn under Dak Prescott and get to play for the league’s most coveted franchise.
