In his collegiate career, Delane appeared in 44 games over four seasons at Virginia Tech and LSU. He recorded 191 total tackles, seven tackles for loss, eight interceptions, 27 passes defended and four forced fumbles.

In 2026, Delane has appeared in one game for the Chiefs and recorded one pass defended and one interception.
