WVhuskerXX Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Shame he had the injury his senior year. Glad he was able to contribute as the holder. Seemed like a great young man. Wish him nothing but the best. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Bummer. Hope he does well in whatever he pursues. I was always proud of the way NU honored his scholarship. Heard of plenty of other situations where a high school player got hurt and schools completely abandoned them. Quote Link to comment

Heard of plenty of other situations where a high school player got hurt and schools completely abandoned them. I agree. From the sound of things he was a great teammate and a workout warrior, but it's unfortunate that he couldn't help the team on the field more. I wouldn't be surprised to see him try to get into coaching. Quote Link to comment
RedSavage Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Remember watching the game he got the concussion in on ESPN. He was tearing it up until he got hurt. Too bad we never got to see what could have been but good on UNL for honoring his scholarship. He's certainly doing the team a favor by moving on. Wish him the best in whatever he pursues. 1 Quote Link to comment
Huskerzoo Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Kid was put in tough in one tough position after another. I think he was both the type of player we stand for ("whatever I can do to help contribute") and also perfectly represents what we want our program to stand for (integrity in victory...well victory was somewhat optional recently). It seems like a good time for him to transition. 1 Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Strikes me as a guy who will get in to coaching. Best of luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment
Fru Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 http://video.btn.com/zack-darlington-2-point-conversion-vs-fresno-state Zack's 2 Pt Conversion against Fresno St. Loved how he spun the ball, totally worth the flag. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Does this open an extra scholarship? Best of luck to Darlington, he was always an intriguing topic of discussion and a great part of the team. Quote Link to comment

HuskerInLostWages Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Best of luck to this young man. I wish he could have played more as a QB for us but had a medical condition that hindered that. I'm sure he will eventually join his dads staff, get some coaching in and figure it all out. Good kid and wanted to do whatever he could to help out the team, proud to call him a Husker. 1 Quote Link to comment

Indeed. He was one of Bo's recruits, and I doubt Riley and Frost would've handled it differently. Quote Link to comment
