Christianson with the LJS is reporting that there is some chatter that ZD is being moved to slot WR.

Anyone else hearing anything?
 
"Brian Christopherson of the Journal Star was just on 93.7 in Lincoln saying that he's hearing that Darlington might be moving to slot receiver and we'll find out where he lines up tomorrow."

Someone posted this on another site last night.
 
If this is true, I'd like to find out who made the decision (Darlington or coaches) and then whether it has any impact of Bush's decision after spring semester.

If Bush transfers out and Darlington moves to slot wr, including walk-ons, who are the remaining QBs in 2017?!? Eek

QB recruits would have think think that they have a shot and will get opportunities if there will only be two scholarship QBs in 2017 to compete with (one being a senior)! (updated)

Makes no sense to me given his concussion history and the way he performed in last year's spring game. IF it's true so much for the concerns about his health.

I do recall that according to somebody on this board that one of our RBs supposedly had switched to linebacker at one point last fall......mmmmmm not so much. Who knows. Darlington is a heck of an athlete. He tested really well this spring. I know it was one scrimmage, but he looked like a real QB in the spring game last year.

He was never going to play QB here and he doesn't want to leave Lincoln. I don't blame him for switching positions.

Don't forget Tanner Lee will be here for depth in 2017.
 
From a recruiting article in 2013:

"He has a strong, accurate arm and 4.5-seond 40-yard dash speed that makes a solid dual-threat quarterback."

If he truly is that fast, I see no reason not to move him to WR if he can catch too (if he isn't going to get a real opportunity to play QB).
 
We still don't know for a fact if Bush is transferring after spring ball or just a rumor.

It is strange that Darlington would switch positions and I was wonder if his history of concussions would hold him back in any position he choices to play for us.

If Bush really wants to play college football I hope he transfers. He just isn't going to see the field here IMO.
 
If Bush can transform can it be to Joe Montana? And for goodness sake he needs to stay out of the consession stand!!!
 
Great idea, put a kid with concussion issues at slot so a SS can kill him. Sorry, just let him stay qb and teach him how to be a coach. Probably will be a great coach someday.jmo

Zack Darlington is indeed now working at receiver. #Huskers Zack Darlington has moved to WR. Riley said ZD wants an opportunity.

If he is cleared, that decision is between him, his parents and the Dr's in Lincoln. .

This seems strange to me. So the young man has been medically cleared to play football. That means he is healthy enough to play QB. That further means that his switch to wide out is so he has a better chance to play. And what THAT means is that both Fyfe and Bush are better than he at QB?? Given his career in high school and the flashes he has shown at QB here, I am just scratching my head as to why, since he is healthy, he has not moved up the depth chart past Bush at least.

Says he has been wanting to do this sometime last year.

We don't know after Fyfe if he was next in line last year because only the top 2 QB played in any of the games.
