HOOVER, Ala. – Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen has an ace up his sleeve in recruiting. Actually, it’s more like a star.
The recent rise of Mullen’s former pupil, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, is further proof that he can produce top signal-callers, and Mullen said such name recognition matters in recruiting.
“You say ‘Dak’ and most people know,” Mullen said at SEC Media Days. “It’s hard to become a one-name person. Dak has kind of become that. People see that, then they’ll go back and see that he was the two- or three-star player out of high school that wasn’t heavily recruited.
