April 29, 2025 – Dallas, TX
Just 30 minutes ago, the family of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott released an urgent and emotional statement to fans and the media: Dak Prescott’s father, Nathaniel Prescott, has been hospitalized following a sudden and serious medical issue.
In a brief but heartfelt message posted through the family’s official spokesperson, the Prescotts asked for understanding and prayers during this unexpected health crisis:

🏥 A Sudden Health Emergency
Sources close to the family revealed that Nathaniel Prescott was admitted to a Dallas-area medical center late last night after experiencing a sudden onset of symptoms. While specific details about his condition have not been made public, it was serious enough for Dak to immediately step away from his team responsibilities to be with his father.
A Cowboys team spokesperson confirmed:
“Dak has the full support of the organization. Family always comes first. We’re keeping Mr. Prescott and the entire family in our thoughts.”
👨👦 A Strong Father-Son Bond
Though Dak was raised primarily by his late mother, Peggy Prescott, he has spoken openly in recent years about reconnecting and building a meaningful relationship with his father. Nathaniel has frequently been seen at Cowboys games, proudly supporting his son from the stands.
“He’s a quiet man, but his presence means a lot to me,” Dak once said in a 2023 interview. “Having my father there as I play the game I love has become something really special.”

One longtime fan wrote:
“Dak’s been there for his team and this city time and time again. Now it’s our turn to be there for him.”
🧡 Looking Forward
While the timeline of Dak’s return to team activities remains unclear, the Cowboys organization emphasized that his only focus right now should be on his family.

As the football world pauses in support, one thing is certain: Dak Prescott’s leadership off the field is just as powerful as his presence on it.
