Four years ago, Dak Prescott moseyed onto Mississippi State’s campus as on overlooked, two-star linebacker.
Wednesday night, he’ll end his Bulldogs career as a hero.
No, Prescott isn’t playing for a national championship and he never had the opportunity to even claim a divisional title during his time in Starkville, but everything it takes to construct the 6-foot-2, 230-pound quarterback is the stuff of champions.
The somewhat soft-spoken behemoth with a cannon right arm and presidential smile has dazzled the SEC and the nation for the better part of the last two years. His rugged, bulldozing running style is coupled perfectly with his now NFL-quality passing technique.
