The rising NFL star, who replaced Russell Wilson as the New York Giants' starting quarterback in the 2025 season, is the oldest of four and was raised in Kaysville, Utah. His parents, Brandon and Kara, were both standout athletes and his younger brother, Diesel, is already making a name for himself as one of Utah’s top high school football players. He also has two younger sisters, though they mainly stay out of the spotlight.

His family is incredibly important to him, so much so that he opted out of attending the draft in Green Bay, Wisc., and stayed home in Utah so he could share the moment with all of them.
“They only give you 10 tickets at the draft,” he explained in a behind-the-scenes draft day video. “I want to be with my family, I have a big family.”
“I just wanted everybody to be here and be back home,” he added. “20 years down the road, I’m going to look back on this and be like, ‘It was just an amazing experience with my family.’ ”
Here's everything to know about Jaxson Dart’s brother and two sisters.

He’s a defensive back and wide receiver for Corner Canyon High School in Utah and has already received offers from several colleges, including Auburn University, the University of Arizona, his brother’s alma mater Ole Miss and the University of Utah, where his dad played football.
Diesel is set to graduate in 2027 and has yet to announce where he plans to play football.
Diesel feels “pressure” having him as a brother
Diesel has been candid about the “pressure” he feels to live up to the standard his older brother set, but he doesn't view it as a burden.

He continued, “I’m really appreciative for having an older brother kind of pave the way for me as well.”
In another installment of the video series, Diesel revealed that his parents have always set “high expectations” for him and his siblings. “In our family … the expectations are higher than what another normal kid would face,” he said.

At a press conference in May 2025, Jaxson revealed that the necklace originally belonged to one of his sisters. “So, my little sister had it, it was hers," he said. "It was before our bowl game and as I was leaving the house over Christmas — a little break before the bowl game — and just saw it in her room. And I was like, 'You know what, I kind of like it.' "
