COWBOYS QUARTERBAC­K PRESCOTT EYES DOCTORATE

-

Dak Prescott seized the Dallas Cowboys’ starting quarterbac­k job last season, although his school days apparently aren’t over. Prescott told the Talk of Fame Network that he plans to go back to college to get a doctorate in psychology. He has a bachelor’s degree in educationa­l psychology and a master’s in workforce leadership from Mississipp­i State, where he holds 38 football records. “Even though I had all the confidence in myself in making it to the NFL or in the game of football, I knew that it could be taken away from me at any moment,” Prescott said, according to The

Dallas Morning News. “I never wanted to be that guy saying, ‘What if I’d have gotten my degree or something, then I would’ve had something to fall back on.’ Getting my degrees has helped me immensely just within the game of football and with people, just making me more educated in general. And it’s something that I continue to do.”
