Who are Dak Prescott's parents?

Dak Prescott plays for the Dallas Cowboys as a quarterback. Having been chosen by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Prescott began his pro football career in 2016.

Prescott was an active football player in college at Mississippi State University before signing with the Cowboys. While much of Prescott's work career is public knowledge, curiosity regarding his parents has always existed.

Prescott's parents are Peggy and Nathaniel Prescott. Dak Prescott is of mixed racial origin. His mother is a European-American, and his father is of African-American descent.

Who is Peggy Prescott, Dak Prescott's Mother?

Peggy Prescott was an American woman best known as Dak Prescott's mom. She passed away in 2013 at 51 years of age. She had three sons and one daughter.

Peggy Prescott, Dak Prescott's mother, passed away in November 2013 after a struggle with colon cancer. To memorialize his mother, Dak established the Faith Fight Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose primary goal is to assist people facing hardship. His devotion to his mother is apparent because he also wears the No. 4 in honor of the day she was born, September 4.

Prescott told Fox Sports in 2018:

"It's not that easy when you lose your mom. You have to look yourself in the eye every morning and realize that you have expectations from an angel, and you have to carry those expectations out every day."

When Dak started school, his parents got divorced, according to the Dallas News. Peggy was left to raise Dak and his siblings alone as a result. According to ESPN, she oversaw a Travel Plaza close by, and the household resided at a trailer park in Princeton, Louisiana.

Who is Nat Prescott, Dak Prescott's dad?

Just like his dad, Dak was an avid Cowboys supporter growing up. Nat first drove a city bus in Austin before working as a commercial driver in the Louisiana oil fields. Despite Dak's well-known connection with his mom, Nat said he and his son are still friendly.

One thing to remember is that Peggy is not Nathaniel Prescott's first wife, and their family is not the first one he has ever had. According to several accounts, Dak Prescott's father was previously married. He had a family before he met and wed his mother.

To this day, details about his first marriage, such as the name of his first wife, the day of their wedding, and the reason for their divorce, have been kept a secret. But it is known that he had Elliot, a boy, from that marriage. So Nat's first family was Elliot and his mother.
