CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A little over a year ago, after quarterback Dak Prescott and his Mississippi State Bulldogs had toppled Auburn to all-but-certainly become the nation’s top-ranked team, MSU’s signal caller headed to dinner.
What started out as casual trip for some pizza turned into much more. It was then that Prescott realized what those around him had already seen. This small-town Louisiana boy, who just five years previously trekked northward to Starkville, was now the face of Mississippi State football.
“I remember going in Lost Pizza and people mobbed me and were clapping when I walked in and it kind of hit me,” Prescott said.
