Darling commits to Harvard Crimson

Jake Darling was bound to earn a football scholarship based on his work on the field. But his work in the classroom helped him receive one from one of the most prestigious universities in the country.

The San Marcos senior defensive lineman announced on Monday he was committing to the Harvard Crimson.

“It’s been kind of crazy imagining that I have this opportunity that I’ve been presented with,” Darling said. “It’s just been really amazing, like, I’m really excited about the next chapter and being blessed with this opportunity.”
