STARKVILLE, Miss. – Dak Prescott will go down as one of the greatest players ever to put on a Mississippi State uniform. He set countless school records. He led the Bulldogs to three straight bowl games, including a New Year’s Six bowl in 2014. He was a terrific ambassador for the university, both on and off the field.
How do you replace that?
For Nick Fitzgerald, it hasn’t been easy – the constant comparisons and the pressure and expectations that come with that – but he’s taking it all in stride.
“Obviously, following up such a great player like that, somebody that really changed this program around, that’s always going to be hard to follow,” Fitzgerald said.
