Dak knows all about losing a parent. He lost his best friend and mother to colon cancer during his redshirt-sophomore season at Mississippi State. When he learned about a child who lost his father, he made sure to surprise him.
Therese Apel of the Clarion-Ledger wrote more on the story:
Nash and his family posed for pictures with his sports hero. The family said that while their hearts are still broken over the loss of William Durr, Prescott’s kindness to take some time out for them brought them a little happiness.
Prescott, who lost his mother during his career at MSU, seemed to reflect a little of Durr’s personality as well — the deputy was known for taking his time to interact with young people.
