Dak Prescott’s Parents are Nathaniel Prescott and Peggy Prescott. The American parents are mostly known for their close association with Dak who is an NFL quarterback.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rayne Dakota ‘Dak’ Prescott has spent up to five years with the Dallas Cowboys and is a recognized name in the North American Football League. However, his close family and relatives remain mostly anonymous so far.<\/p>\n

They are rarely mentioned and are never sighted on television from the stands cheering for their son as he delivers one of his many touchdown passes. Here is what we know about Dak Prescott’s parents, Nathaniel and Peggy Prescott.<\/p>\n

Dak Prescott’s Parents Were Married For Over 5 Years<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Online sources have disclosed that Dak Prescott’s parents were once married and lived as husband and wife for five years. Their wedding date and the kind of wedding they had, has also not been revealed yet.<\/p>\n

One worthy-of-note piece of information is that Peggy is not the first wife of Nathaniel Prescott, and their family is not the first he ever had. Several sources have it that Dak Dak’s father was once married and had a family before he met and married his mom.<\/p>\n

However, information regarding his first marriage, which includes the name of his first wife, when they got married, and why they parted ways among others has remained a secret to this today. But, it is known that he had a male child from that union named Elliot. Elliot and his mother are the first families he had, sadly, there’s no news about their whereabouts currently.<\/p>\n

When Did Dak Prescott’s Parents Get Divorced?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is no news that Dak’s parents parted ways some years after they tied the knot, but the year they split is yet to be made public. Information about what led to the crash of their marriage also remains a mystery to the public. However, it is widely reported that they split based on varying interests, and following the demise of Peggy, we may never get a balanced side to that story.<\/p>\n

It is also not known if the divorce turned into a court battle, if they settled out-of-court, or if the former husband and wife just chose to mutually go their separate ways after staying together? We may never have answers to these.<\/p>\n

Be that as it may, the divorce did not totally cut off the relationship between them. Dak’s parents remained friends with each other even after they had gone their separate ways.<\/p>\n

Who Is Nathaniel Prescott, Dak Prescott’s Father?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nathaniel Prescott is an American-born African American who gained public attention due to his association with his son, Dak Prescott, who is a\u00a0 professional football player. Dak Prescott is a quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys in the North American football League.<\/p>\n

Multiple reports have it that Nathaniel Prescott did play football in his prime. He played football at Northwestern State and Grambling University as a linebacker. Although that cannot not be clearly verified, one could agree that playing football runs in the family and that could be where Dak picked his talent from.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Prescott’s is over 60 years of age as he is said to be born in the year 1961. However, his precise date and place of birth has not been revealed. Reports have it that he was raised in Louisiana, Saints Country. Apart from this very little information, nothing else is known about him.<\/p>\n

What Does Nathaniel Prescott Do For A Living?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It is unclear what job Nathaniel Prescott does for a living currently, but he has been described as a hardworking and proud father. It has been reported that he used to work as a city bus driver in Austin, Texas. He also served as a commercial driver in the oil fields in Louisiana in addition to once working in the oil industry.<\/p>\n

How Involved Was He in Dak’s Upbringing After the Divorce?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For the most part of his son’s upbringing, Nathaniel Prescott was not fully present and this is because his ex-wife, Peggy, had custody of him and his siblings, and raised them as a single parent. Not much has been revealed as to how close he was with Dak after his divorce from his mother. However, the NFL star has said his father played key roles in his life.<\/p>\n

Although Nate may not have been completely involved in raising his celebrity child after his divorce from his mother, he seems to be his pillar of support now. He is always there for him, watching most of his games and also holding interviews where he speaks in a positive light about his achievements.<\/p>\n

Nate may not have had a strong presence in Dak’s upbringing, but he is a strong force behind the success of his football career. Being the son of a one-time player, it was easier for Dak Prescott to play football from an early age.<\/p>\n

The fact that Nate did not play football at a professional level notwithstanding, it’s obvious he passed down his talent to his son. This could also be affirmed to be true as it is revealed that he has other sons who played football as well, but Dak Prescott was the only one to has made it to the professional level.<\/p>\n

Nate Prescott’s son, Dak, was said to be a star on his high school team (Haughton High School\u00a0in\u00a0Haughton, Louisiana) and helped them win the District 1-AAAA championship in 2010. Reports also have it that he continued to show off his talent while attending Mississippi State University. As a college football player, he racked up 70 touchdowns in 49 games for the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Dak Prescott’s Relationship With His Father<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dak Prescott’s current relationship with his father is very good. This has surprised the public due to the fact that he (his father) was believed to have been absent from his life during the early part of his upbringing. So when he started appearing in the later part of the superstar NFL player’s life, it was easy for many to speculate that he is only turning up because Dak is now famous and rich.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Prescott has, however, refuted many of those claims and wide speculations. Although he was polite and courteous with his remarks, he was able to use every chance he got to guide the public in understanding better the role he had played in his son’s life.<\/p>\n

He made it known that his relationship with his son has been nothing but a simple father-son relationship that the public has not been aware of. He explained how he seldom misses any game his son was involved in and sometimes traveled far to watch him play. It is stated that Nathaniel Prescott had moved across the country to be closer to his son Dak, after the passing away of his ex-wife Peggy, who died of cancer.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Prescott’s Surprise Radio Call About His Relationship With His Son<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While Dak was still a quarterback at the Mississippi State University football team, it was brought up during the Auburn vs. Texas A&M game on CBS that the quarterback was alienated from his father, Nathaniel Prescott. Prescott was infuriated by the claim that he was not involved in his son’s life and sought to correct the record.<\/p>\n

A popular Sports columnist, Pat Forde, had written a piece about Prescott’s relationship with his late mother, Peggy; however, the narrative made no mention of Prescott’s father. Forde, though, never brought up Prescott and his father’s lack of a relationship, as reported by CBS.<\/p>\n

Nathaniel Prescott decided to address the CBS assumptions and set things straight through a popular radio call-in show called The Paul Finebaum Show.<\/em> Nate stated clearly that he may not be the first person his son looks for in the dawg walk, but he is the first he looks for after the game.<\/p>\n

This goes to say that he offers more in the form of emotional and moral support whenever his son reaches out to him after every game. Nathaniel did not try to hide his displeasure with the media who were critical of his relationship with his son but spoke highly of Dak’s relationship with his late mother.<\/p>\n

Speaking during an interview with Fort Worth Star-Telegram\u00a0<\/a>in 2017 Dak confirmed that he had a good relationship with his father saying, \u201cMe and my dad have always had a tight relationship, different from my brothers, I guess,\u201d But we all have our own individual relationships. He has always been there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Where Is Nathaniel Prescott Now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Nathaniel Prescott reportedly relocated to Frisco, Texas, in 2017 and still lives there to date.\u00a0His reason for moving closer, according to him, was to become a pillar of support to his children in the absence of their mother, who is also his ex-wife. Although this decision was widely applauded, some quarters saw it as just a ploy for him to finally get to have some share of his son’s celebrity status.<\/p>\n

Who Is Peggy Prescott, Dak Prescott’s Mother?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Peggy Prescott was an American woman who is mostly known as the mother of Dak Prescott. She was 51 years old at the time she died in the year 2013. She had four kids, including three sons and one daughter named. Dak Prescott is the youngest and the most famous of all her children.<\/p>\n
