This is from an article I did with Rodney Guin. He was Dak Prescotts coach in high school. Was dead spot on
Dak is one of the finest young men to come through Haughton High School in the 20 plus years i have been here. On the field he was the ultimate leader. He was never outworked and he set goals for himself that he was determined to reach. Our kids believed in him and played hard behind him. In short he is a winner. He will be an winner in whatever he does in life because of his work ethic. I think we learned a lot about Dak when the pressure of the LSU and TCU offers came in late in the season. He told me that Mississippi St. had been loyal to him from the start and he would be loyal to them. Not many kids from this state would turn down the opportunites he had simply because he knew it was the right thing to do. That's the type of young man he is. Even if he never plays a down of football at State he will be a positive asset to the university.
