BEAVERCREEK ? The unofficial world record for speed dialing and text messaging is held by Zach Domicone.

"I think I called or texted everyone on the call list on my cell within a minute after coach told me Nebraska was offering me a (college football) scholarship," Domicone said. "I'm not sure who was more excited, me or coach."

Domicone is a 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pound senior at Beavercreek High School. He was an option quarterback, but college coaches project him as a defensive back because of his size and speed (4.46 seconds in the 40-yard dash). His coach is Scott Clodfelter, who guided Beavercreek to its first winning season in 15 years last fall at 6-4.

Domicone got a call from Bo Pelini prior to the LSU-Ohio State national championship game.

"He told me to watch how LSU defensive backs Craig Steltz and Ali Highsmith played their positions," said Domicone.

"He envisioned me playing those spots for Nebraska. So that made the game even more interesting for me because I was rooting for Ohio State."
