American football quarterback Rayne Dakota Prescott plays quarterback for the National Football League (NFL) Dallas Cowboys. After playing college football at Mississippi State, where he was twice named to the first team of the SEC, he was drafted in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys.
After regular quarterback Tony Romo sustained an injury during the preseason, Prescott—who was supposed to be a backup in his rookie year—became the starting quarterback for the Cowboys. In the process, he set multiple rookie quarterback records, guided the Cowboys to the top seed in the National Football Conference (NFC), and was named Offensive Rookie of the Year.
Since then, Prescott has appeared in two Pro Bowls and guided the Cowboys to two more division titles. He was named the 2022 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. Stay with us for the latest information.
Dak Prescott Height
The starting quarterback for the Cowboys is 1.88 meters (6 feet 2 inches) tall. He is roughly the typical height of a quarterback according to NFL standards. Though most of the dominant signal callers in the league have been 6 feet 2 inches taller, there have been a few shorter signal callers who have succeeded.

A taller quarterback usually has an advantage since he can see the field well in front of him and easily see above the linesman, who may also be rather tall.
Dak Prescott Weight
Dak’s weight when he joined the league was about 238 pounds (108 kg). His current weight is close to 230 pounds. He is somewhat above average when weighed in relation to the other quarterbacks in the league. Before the 2022 season began, Dak lost his baby fat and became slimmer, even if his weight hasn’t really dropped.

Dak Prescott Career
2011 saw Prescott redshirted while a true freshman at Mississippi State. In 12 games in 2012, he filled in as Tyler Russell’s backup, completing 18 of 29 passes for 194 yards, four touchdowns, and no interceptions. Along with his four scores from running, he gained 110 yards on 32 carries.
In the 2013 season, Prescott started as Russell’s backup once more but took over as the starting quarterback following Russell’s concussion. He completed 156 of 267 throws for 1,940 yards with 10 touchdowns and seven interceptions throughout his 11 games of action. On 134 carries, he gained 829 yards and 13 touchdowns in the passing game.
He led the Bulldogs to a 44–7 victory over the Rice Owls, earning him the title of 2013 Liberty Bowl MVP. In terms of passing yards (1,940), rushing touchdowns (13), overall yards (2,769), and total touchdowns (23), his 2013 season performance is tied for fifth place. He was listed on the 2013 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll after the season.
2014 marked Prescott’s first season as a full-time starter. He guided the Bulldogs to their first-ever #1 ranking in program history, a 10-2 regular season record, and an Orange Bowl appearance. Prescott shattered several school marks in the 2014 season, including passing yards (3,449) for a single season, total offensive yards (4,435), passing touchdowns (27), and total touchdowns (41).
In addition, he tied for fourth place in school history with 14 rushing touchdowns. Additionally, Prescott won a number of awards both during and after the season. He was named the 2014 SEC Offensive Player of the Week three times (at LSU, vs. Auburn, vs. Vanderbilt); the Athlon Sports, Davey O’Brien, Maxwell Award Player of the Week twice each (at LSU, vs. A&M); and the 24/7 Sports National Offensive Player of Week (at LSU).
He was named the Manning Award Player of the Week five times (vs. UAB, at LSU, vs. Texas A&M, vs. Auburn, vs. Vanderbilt). 2014 saw him listed on the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll, the AP, Coaches, and ESPN.com’s First-team All-SEC squad, and SI.com’s Honorable Mention All-American list.
In addition to being a finalist for the Davey O’Brien, Maxwell, Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, and Manning awards, he also won the Conerly Trophy. In the 2014 Heisman Trophy voting, he garnered two first-place votes and came in eighth.
Before departing the game in the fourth quarter due to a right thumb injury, Prescott had a problematic first week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, finishing 14 of 29 passes for 134 yards and an interception. The team lost 19-3. Prescott would miss 6–8 weeks due to a thumb injury, it was later reported.
When Prescott returned, the team defeated the Detroit Lions 24–6 while he passed for 207 yards and a score. With 2,860 passing yards, 66.2% passing completion percentage, 23 touchdowns, and a season-high 15 interceptions in 12 games, Prescott concluded the season as a standout quarterback.
The Cowboys defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-14 in the Wild Card Round thanks to Prescott’s completion of 25 of 33 throws for 305 yards, four passing touchdowns, and a touchdown via rushes.
The Cowboys lost 19–12 to the San Francisco 49ers despite Prescott’s 206 yards and one touchdown passing along with two interceptions in the Divisional Round. The 2022 NFL Walter Payton Man of the Year award went to him.
