Mississippi State quarterback and NFL draft prospect Dak Prescott has made known his fondness for the Dallas Cowboys. As have running backs Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott.

Prescott, who said at the NFL combine that he grew up a Cowboys fan, is set to have a private workout for team at the end of March, according to NFL.com.

Prescott's schedule is actually pretty busy. The Buffalo Bills, Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals have arranged for Prescott to visit their facilities in April, while the Cardinals have also scheduled a private workout in March.

Prescott met with Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan and quarterback coach Wade Wilson during the Senior Bowl last month.

He met with Wilson again at the combine.

"Coach Wilson just [talked] about what they expect me to do if I come in there, if it's to be in the backup role behind Tony Romo, how do I plan on approaching it and then just talking ball, so they've been very productive meetings," Prescott said. "He told me their picks and told me that they're thinking about getting a quarterback with one of those picks. He was saying that if I work hard, things maybe could work out."

Prescott completed 7 of 10 passes for 61 yards and a touchdown en route to MVP honors at the Senior Bowl. Prescott's South squad defeated the North team coached by Jason Garrett, 27-16.

"I actually was a Cowboys fan (growing up)," Prescott said, "but I mean now going in, having this interview, it's about just getting my foot in the door."

NFLDraftScout.com (CBS Sports) projects Prescott as a third- or fourth-round selection. As far as that range goes, he'd have to be available at No. 67 for the Cowboys to take him in the third round (assuming there isn't any movement).

When it comes to comparisons,NFLDraftScout.com provides this on the 6-foot-2, 226-pound Prescott:

COMPARES TO: Tim Tebow, ex-Broncos, Jets, Patriots -- It is the natural comparison, beyond just the connection to Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen, who was Florida's offensive coordinator when Tebow was in Gainesville. Although Prescott has a slightly better arm and more consistent mechanics, he and Tebow grade similar in several categories, including composure, mobility, power and leadership.

Columnist Rick Gosselin recently joined SportsDayDFW's "Ballzy" podcast to talk all things Cowboys ahead of the combine and had this to say of "B-class" quarterbacks Dallas could target in the draft:
