"Coach Jake was down here a week ago and he said he really liked me and that he would get back to me. He said he wanted to show the tape to coach (Butch) Jones first before he offered me," Darnold explained. "Once he showed the tape to coach Jones he said he wanted to talk to me on the phone right now."
"I was on the phone with coach Jake and he told me about their quarterback situation and I talked to coach Jones and he told me that they were going to offer a scholarship to me," Darnold said. "It was amazing. I talked to coach Jake for a bit after that, too. "It's awesome. One of my goals was to compete with the best and in college the SEC is the best competition. I'm definitely interested in taking a visit to Tennessee."
"If you go to Tennessee you already know they have a top-notch program and some of the best fans in the world," Darnold said. "Coach Jake said you're going to get the best of the best at Tennessee, whether it's the fan base or playing against the best in the SEC." "I am thinking about staying out West, but since it is Tennessee and is the SEC and that's the best, you have to think about it and I want to take a visit there," Darnold said.
"The next couple of months will be pretty crazy for me with recruiting. I want to do something in late June and before then I want to take some visits to places like Northwestern, Wake Forest, Tennessee, places like that," Darnold said. "I'm also going to a one-day camp at Stanford, they want to see me throw."
