The resilience of a single mother is never to be trifled with, and this can be seen clearly in the case of Peggy Prescott. She raised Dak Prescott and his three other siblings to be the strong individuals they are today, and it has been said that she is the secret behind his success.

How much do you know about this celebrity mother? Keep reading to find out what you didn’t know about her. 

Dak Prescott’s Mom, Peggy Prescott 

Peggy Prescott was an American celebrity mother of NFL quarterback Dak Prescott’s mom. She was born in 1962 and lived till she was 51 years old, when she passed away in 2013. She had four children, three sons and a daughter.

NFL’s Dak Prescott is Peggy’s last child and the most famous of all her children. She got her fame from him and was popularly called his ‘rock.’

She was a white American woman who may or may not have had some European ancestry. Her precise date of birth and upbringing are private information; the same can be said for her educational background. 

Peggy Prescott’s Career 

Media outlets have speculated about her career and job, but none seem to have any weight. Peggy was a full-time single mother who dedicated all her energy and time to raising her four kids. Multiple reports claim that she worked at a truck stop, but these haven’t been proven true. 

Other sources say the celebrity mum worked at a neighborhood Travel Plaza and resided in a mobile home park where she brought up all her kids, but this has yet to be confirmed. 

While it is unclear what kind of job Peggy did, she inevitably had a means of income that helped her raise all four kids and provide the family’s upkeep as required. She was, for sure, a hardworking mother to be able to raise four successful children single-handedly. 

Peggy follows the line of many single mothers of celebrities who gave their all to see their children succeed at the expense of their own goals and dreams. Her NFL superstar son, Dak, has repeatedly credited his mom for his success and the primary source of inspiration. 

Who Are Dak Prescott’s Parents?

Dak Prescott’s parents are Peggy and Nathaniel Prescott. His father, Nathaniel, is an African-American man who rose to fame thanks to Dak’s success in the NFL. In his prime, he was also a footballer, attributed as the source of Dak’s talent. 

Nathaniel Prescott 

The celebrity father was born in 1961 and is 62 years old as of 2023. His precise date and place of birth are unknown, but he grew up and was raised in Louisiana. He is a highly educated man with a strong football talent, passed down to his son, Dak. 

While in his prime, Nathaniel played football as a linebacker at Northwestern State and Grambling University. Although the reasons why he didn’t pursue a football career are unknown, the celebrity father found other ways to earn a living. 

He used to work as a city bus driver in Austin, Texas, and also served as a commercial driver in the oil field in Louisiana after working for a short period in the oil industry. 

Nathaniel Prescott’s Relationship With His Children

For most of his children’s lives, Nathaniel was an absent father. He left them and their mother immediately after their divorce, only to be seen again when things began to go well for Dak.

Now, Nathaniel is present at all times for his children. He has been trying to build back their relationship and support them, especially now that their mother is late. 

He can be seen at almost every NFL game his son plays and cheers him on at every opportunity he gets. Many people have mixed feelings about Nathaniel returning to his kids’ lives as they believe he is only there for the money and fame that Dak’s football career brought. 

However, Dak has clarified this and emphasized that he always had a good relationship with his father. He is glad his father is back and rebuilding his relationship with him one day at a time. 

Peggy Prescott’s Death

Sadly, Dak’s mother is late. She died on November 3, 2013, during Dak’s sophomore year at Mississippi State University. She died after battling with colon cancer for several years at the age of 52. 

Dak and all his siblings were deeply affected by her death but continued to draw comfort from the love and time they shared.
