NEWARK, Del. – Former Blue Hen guard Nate Darling has signed a two-way contract with the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, according to multiple sources.

Darling enjoyed one of the finest seasons in UD history last year when he was a first team All-CAA, NABC All-District 10, and USBWA All-District II selection. He averaged 21.0 points per game, which ranked third in the CAA, 18th in Division I and sixth in a UD single season. Darling scored 672 points last year, third most in a UD single season and seven shy of the school record. He also set a Blue Hen record by hitting 107 three-pointers on the season, sixth most in the nation.

Darling scored at least 20 points during 17 games a year ago, including a career-high 37 points during a win over UTSA which earned him Sunshine Slam MVP honors. He was one of just five players in Division I to score at least 34 points four times during the campaign.
