Dak Prescott might be starring in the NFL, but he’s still getting NCAA awards

Dak Prescott has led the Dallas Cowboys to an 11-1 start this season, but while he’s starring in the NFL as a rookie, he’s going to get another NCAA award.

The NCAA announced on Friday that Prescott will receive the “Today’s Top 10 Award.” It is given annually to 10 former student-athletes who demonstrated success on the field, classroom and in the community.

The award goes to athletes who concluded their college eligibility in the previous year. He will be recognized at the NCAA convention next month in Nashville — though it could interfere with his NFL playoff preparation time.
