Dak Prescott is officially on the Kamario Taylor hype train, and what’s wild is it didn’t even take the Mississippi State quarterback’s monster four-touchdown game against South Carolina on September 19 to convince him. Prescott, a legend himself for the Bulldogs before heading to the Dallas Cowboys, was already fully bought in on Taylor and the program long before that impressive outing. This isn’t just a casual nod; this is a full-blown endorsement from one of the best to ever do it in Starkville.
Prescott Was Already Watching, And Impressed
Reporters caught up with Prescott on September 18, a day *before* Taylor lit up the scoreboard, asking about the young QB’s scorching start to the season. It’s a start that’s already grabbing national attention for the Bulldogs, who are sitting pretty at 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the SEC. Prescott wasn’t just giving lip service; he confessed he’d been following Taylor closely. He’s been genuinely impressed, not only with Taylor’s individual play but also with the overall direction of the program under third-year coach Jeff Lebby. You know when a former star like Dak gives that kind of shout-out, it means something real.
The “Mentality” That Blew Dak Away
Prescott didn’t hold back, detailing how deep his connection and belief in Taylor run. “We’ve shared some messages,” he revealed, showing there’s a real, personal connection forming between the past and present Bulldog signal-callers. He’s not just watching from afar either; he’s done his homework. “I definitely have watched him play. I’ve talked to numbers of people that obviously know him that work hand-in-hand with him that only have amazing things to say. It makes me more of a fan of him.” That’s next-level dedication from Dak, seeking out intel and getting the full picture. But what really sealed the deal? The attitude. “I just know from our short conversations through text and just hearing his interviews that I love the mentality.”
That’s the core of it, right there. It’s the *mentality* and *belief in himself* that truly resonates with Prescott. He sees Taylor bringing something back to Mississippi State, a vibe that has been sorely missed. “what he’s allowed Mississippi State to feel again. The excitement, I’m as excited about that program as I’ve ever been since I was playing.” Think about that for a second. A player who defined excitement for the Bulldogs says he’s *as excited as he’s ever been* about the program. That’s not just a compliment, that’s a ringing endorsement that this team, this *feeling*, is back. It’s the kind of energy that makes the whole SEC take notice. Kamario Taylor is not only undefeated, but he’s got a future NFL star in his corner, and that’s a powerful combination.
