Dak Prescott

The ex-Haughton High star was cool as ever -again - Sunday in leading the Dallas Cowboys to a 35-30 come-from-behind win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Not only is Dak Prescott winning NFL games and impressing Hall of Famers, he's winning over hearts across the country. The rookie quarterback out of Mississippi State is a native of Haughton, and a legend for the Haughton Bucs football program...

Watch this and you'll never want to start Tony Romo again.

Haughton's Dak Prescott talked about the the victory (the first Dallas home win in a year) and his first career touchdown pass.

In the victory, his first as Dallas' starting QB, the Haughton native was 22 for 30 passing for 292 yards and he scored his first NFL touchdown.

Despite the statistical success, the rookie QB lost his pro debut, as the 'Pokes fell to the New York Giants 21 - 20.

Dak Prescott joins America's team, Blake Shelton has the best week ever, we still don't have a dog park and more!

The record setting Mississippi State signal caller was a hot topic as the 'Pokes are openly searching for an eventual replacement for aging QB Tony Romo.

We came into the final day of the NFL Draft in full Dak Prescott Watch mode. We knew he was going to be taken off the board at some point today, it was just a matter of when. That when came at pick #135. The Dallas Cowboys did what many thought they would, they picked up the former Haughton Buc, granted it was MUCH later than many expected...

Well, maybe that run-in with the law during the draft process meant more than we thought. Earlier this year, former Haughton Buc, and Mississippi State Bulldog, Dak Prescott was being projected as a Second Round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft...

The NFL Draft is just over a week away, and there is more local flavor for the Ark-La-Tex than most years. In addition to all of the LSU, La Tech, and ULL prospects, there are some local kids who are getting strong looks from teams. The most interesting prospect for local fans is former Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott...

Prescott was driving a 2016 Cadillac Escalade when he was taken into custody by Starkville police. The Haughton High grad was later released on bond.
