Darlan is making college basketball history as the first former NBA G League player to obtain NCAA eligibility and compete on a college court.

He spent two professional seasons with the Delaware Blue Coats in the G League, averaging 11 points, six rebounds and two assists in 29 games during 2024-25 alongside Santa Clara alum Jared Brownridge. The NCAA granted him two years of eligibility, and he enrolled at Santa Clara in September 2025 at age 21. He was named to the WCC preseason all-conference team before playing a single college game.
