Cowboys draft Prescott faces trial for DUI next week

Former Mississippi State University quarterback Dak Prescott goes to trial Wednesday for a driving under the influence charge after Starkville Municipal Court Judge Rodney Faver denied a motion to dismiss the case.

The Commercial Dispatch reports Prescott was charged with speeding in March after he was pulled over for driving 41 mph in a 25 mph zone. He was also charged with DUI first – a misdemeanor – after admitting drinking at least one beer that night.

Prescott was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in this year’s NFL draft. At MSU, he broke 38 school records, passing for 9,376 yards and 70 touchdowns. He also rushed for 2,521 yards, including 41 touchdowns.
