Before the start of the 2025 high school football season, Prescott donated $1 million to Haughton High to help build “Louisiana’s largest video scoreboard” and upgrade the weight room where he once trained. And on Thursday night, he returned to his alma mater for a special dedication ceremony, during which the field at Harlan Stadium was officially named Prescott Field.
