On returning to the program Delano says, "I'm excited to come back and help push this program further than it has ever been! As a player, I saw the program get better over my 4 years and now I want to help CCU Men's Soccer get to the next level and compete on the national stage. At CCU I was fortunate to have incredible experiences both on and off the field. I left with a world-class education, memories that will last a lifetime and great friendships. I believe CCU has the potential to be the best place in the country to get a Christian education and play soccer in a team that strives to glorify God in all things. I'm humbled to be a part of it all."
He also coaches the 03 boys academy team at Colorado Rush. In his spare time, he enjoys skiing, camping, climbing and exploring Denver.Â
