Dak Prescott, born on July 29, 1993, in Sulphur, Louisiana, is an NFL quarterback. He started his football journey at Mississippi State.
Initially a backup to Tyler Russell, he assumed the starting role in 2013 after Russell’s concussion.
That season, he achieved significant records and was named the MVP of the 2013 Liberty Bowl.
In 2014, as a full-time starter, he led the Bulldogs to their first #1 ranking and broke numerous school records.
This performance earned him numerous accolades, including being a finalist for the Maxwell and Davey O’Brien Awards.
He even ranked eighth in the 2014 Heisman Trophy voting. The Dallas Cowboys drafted Prescott in 2016’s fourth round.
After joining, he switched to jersey #4 in memory of his mother. He quickly ascended the depth chart due to injuries and trade failures involving other quarterbacks.
