Apopka (Fla.) High quarterback Zack Darlington made two big decisions over the weekend. The 2014 signal caller decided to schedule visits to both Nebraska and Ohio State for the month of June.
The visits begin June 6 when Darlington flies to Lincoln and will visit Nebraska for the first time over the weekend. He'll then fly back home and prepare for a mission trip the following week. Later in the month, he'll fly to Columbus to visit Ohio State.
Darlington felt it was important to visit both schools before he could fully come to a decision. Regarding Nebraska, Darlington said he knows all of the history, for him it'll be more about finding the fit.
"When you make the decision you have to be able to know what you picked," he said. "I'll definitely take a very close look at Nebraska, just because my dad has always been a Husker fan. I was raised up to know about Nebraska. I didn't need to know any background...This trip is to allow me to take a good look, see what the campus is like and find out how I fit with the school."
Learning and spending time with the Nebraska players and support staff is important for Darlington as he aims to learn more about the Husker culture.
"I want to be able to go through the town, get something to eat, talk to past players, current players, future players and see how they liked it," he said. "I need to see what it is and what I'm going to be living with for the next four years. I can't wait to get up there."
