Devon Dampier and Lola Sexton Attend College GameDay
Utah Utes quarterback Devon Dampier enters Week 8 with his girlfriend, Lola Sexton, cheering him on at Rice-Eccles Stadium as the No. 1-ranked Utes host the No. 14 Houston Cougars for College GameDay on Saturday, October 24. Dampier transferred to Utah from New Mexico prior to the 2025 season, leading the program to a 10-2 record and capturing the Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year honor.
The couple went public with their relationship in July, sharing joint vacation photos from Cabo San Lucas with the caption “last minute getaway.” Sexton, a Salt Lake City-based hairstylist, celebrated Dampier’s 22nd birthday earlier this month with an Instagram post reading, “happy birthday to my best friend ♥️ i could celebrate you everyday, ily!!” The pair keep their relationship mostly private, a choice that follows high-profile media attention surrounding Sexton’s past romance.
High School Romance and the New York Giants Quarterback
Sexton previously dated New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart. The two started dating as students at Corner Canyon High School in Draper, Utah, and maintained their relationship through Dart’s college football careers at USC and Ole Miss. The couple split before the 2024 NFL Draft, where the Giants selected Dart as the No. 25 overall pick.
In September 2024, Sexton addressed the separation in a since-deleted TikTok video covered by Outkick. She stated that she received an anonymous text message revealing infidelity that lasted for over a year and a half. “I really didn’t want to have to do this, but some stuff has been brought to my attention, and I just feel like I have to clear the air and share my side of the story,” Sexton said in the video. She added wishes for his health and stated an intent to move forward.
Dart Dates Marissa Ayers While Dampier Stays Low Profile
While Sexton is now established in Salt Lake City with Dampier, Dart is in a serious relationship with model and influencer Marissa Ayers. Ayers and Dart recently appeared together on the Kentucky Derby red carpet. Dampier and Sexton maintain a lower profile, avoiding the intense spotlight that followed the end of the previous relationship.

Specific details regarding how Dampier and Sexton initially met remain unconfirmed. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound quarterback focuses on the ongoing season and the matchup against Houston, while Sexton continues her work as a hairstylist in Utah.
