4. Dak Prescott
2011 Signing Class, 3 Star Prospect

Dak is the only other 3 star prospect to make the list. And the only reason he makes the list is because of the level of his accomplishments.

I have heard people say no one expected anything out of Dak Prescott. That’s probably overstating it. A more accurate statement would be no one expected this much from Dak Prescott.

3 star players can often be solid contributing players on a team. They don’t usually become the best quarterback in school history. Granted, Mississippi State’s history at the position has helped Dak achieve such a status, but Prescott was 8th in the Heisman voting last year, and he has the chance to improve upon that in 2015.

Dak Prescott has done the work necessary to make himself a great college football player. And his work isn’t even finished.
