When you’re the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys, your every move is under a microscope. This is something Dak Prescott knows all too well.
In the social media age, where everything is captured digitally, something as mundane as going to a restaurant can become front-page news.
In the latest case of that, Prescott and his new hairstyle set social media ablaze with reactions. What was a simple post by a barber showing off his work that he performed on the Cowboys’ QB, turned into a social media onslaught of jokes and reactions.
Dak Prescott Debuts New Haircut
While Prescott has been dawning the tight haircut up top for some time now, he had usually done so with a full beard with it. However, is it a new year, new Dak?
Prescott makes a not-so-subtle change to his facial hair, and the move sets the social media world on fire.

One X user throws out a wrestling nickname of sorts, as he takes a bit of a resemblance to WWE star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
“Dak ‘The Pebble’ Prescott,” he calls him. Whether that new nickname will stick or not remains to be seen.

A popular comparison made last night was that Prescott is “copying” Jalen Hurts’ look. One fan, for example, posted, “Dak Prescott is trying his best to look like Jalen Hurts.” Ironically, Hurts shaved his goatee not long before Prescott showed off his.
Whether this look is just temporary, or here to stay, when you are Dak Prescott and the quarterback of the most polarizing sports franchise in the world, something as simple as a haircut is going to rile up the masses.
