College career
Darby played college basketball with the Ohio State Buckeyes, between 1999 and 2003, and was a part of two Big Ten champion teams. He averaged 9.6 points per game in his sophomore season, 12.8 points per game as a junior, and 18.3 points and 4.4 assists per game in his senior year, in 2002–03. At the end of his college career, he was ranked 25th on the school's career scoring list, with 1,368 points scored.[2][3]
Darby eventually had to stop playing basketball, as he battled a series of blood clot problems. Doctors implanted filters in Darby's body to break up clots before they reached his lungs, and he had a surgery to remove a large clot from his leg. He died in 2011.
