nebraskafaninwi Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I like Nebraska's chances with Zack. The offense they run is very similar to what Nebraska runs. I am sure a scholarship offer will come soon. Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good article from 247: The quarterback attended bowl practices for South Carolina, Michigan and Virginia Tech this week. On Saturday, he stopped by Nebraska's practice. Darlington, who led Apopka High School to a win in the FHSAA Class 8A State Championship Game, said he liked what he saw from Nebraska's practice and the Husker offense. "I liked their offense a lot because it's a lot like what we do with the power read and zone read and playaction pass," Darlington said. "That's a good fit for me because that's what we already do. As a mobile quarterback, that's kind of my forte. I think Virginia Tech and Nebraska are similar in their offenses because of that aspect of the playaction pass and the power read and zone read. "I like Nebraska's coaches and staff quite a bit." The Darlington family is familiar with Nebraska's coaching staff. Ty Darlington, Zack's older brother is a freshman center at Oklahoma, and was recruited by Nebraska assistant Barney Cotton, and current Nebraska assistant Rick Kaczenski when Kaczenski was at Iowa. Darlington's dad Rick is the head coach at Apopka High School, and got a visit from Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini during the Florida state playoffs, where he was invited to Nebraska's bowl practice. http://virginiatech.247sports.com/Article/Quarterback-Zack-Darlington-took-in-Nebraskas-practice-Saturday-108818 Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 We have a very good shot at this kid if the coaching staff wants him. His dad (Apoka head coach) sent film to Tim Beck. He loves Frost and Crouch, and modles his game after them, and loves our offense. Safe to say he likes Nebraska. Link to comment
