Episode Synopsis

Send us a textQuarterback-to-Quarterback: CCHS grad and NY Giants QB Jaxson Dart speaks to Superintendent Robins about his time as a Charger, the lessons he’s learned through playing football, and what it’s like to hit the NFL field against the world’s very best. The former Corner Canyon High gunslinger now in his rookie year as a New York Giant says the Chargers’ selection to vie for a national football title will raise the profile of all powerhouse prep programs in the Beehive State. “What an opportunity to represent ­— obviously the school district, but also the whole state of Utah,” says Jaxson Dart, the 25thoverall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, during this week’s episode of Connect Canyons.  “I feel like this state is very unappreciated when it comes to a national landscape of talent.” As one of Canyons District’s most high-profile graduates, Dart took a few moments out of his packed schedule as Big Blue’s starting quarterback to complete a quarterback-to-quarterback conversation with Superintendent Dr. Rick Robins, whose play at Southern Utah University earned him a spot in the school’s Hall of Fame. In the episode, Dart, who also is the nephew of Corner Canyon High Assistant Principal Katie Campbell, reflected with Dr. Robins on Dart’s prep and college careers, the influence that CCHS Eric Kjar’s had on his life, and what it’s like to compete against the world’s best at MetLife Stadium.
