BERKELEY, CA \u2014 The search continues for a former standout San Jose State football player and Berkeley resident who was last seen more than a week ago, according to authorities. <\/p>\n

Hadari Darden, 28, left the area of Curtis and Gilman streets in Berkeley on Saturday, April 4, and never returned, according to the Berkeley Police Department. <\/p>\n

Police say Darden’s family reported him missing on Monday, April 6. That same day, he was spotted around 1:16 a.m. at the Skyline Plaza Shopping Center in Daly City and has not been seen since, police said. <\/p>\n

Darden is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds. He has black dreads, a beard and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored hooded top, green pants, black athletic shoes, and carrying a green backpack, police said. <\/p>\n

It’s unclear why Darden left. The 28-year-old was a standout linebacker for San Jose State University. He redshirted for them in 2017 before breaking out in the following three seasons. <\/p>\n

His profile on the San Jose Athletics page<\/a> says Darden graduated with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies in 2021. Outside of football, he enjoys bowling, according to his profile. <\/p>\n

The Berkeley Police Department asks that anyone who knows about Darden’s whereabouts contact local authorities or the agency at 510-981-5900.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BERKELEY, CA \u2014 The search continues for a former standout San Jose State football player and Berkeley resident…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":269404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-269403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=269403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/269403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/269404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=269403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=269403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=269403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
