’25 QB is a RHP on the baseball team and an All-State candidate at his position in football

We have been focusing on versatility this offseason. That versatility may manifest in a kid’s contributing to multiple phases of a football game or it may manifest in that kid’s ability to star in multiple varsity sports. DeLacey is a dual threat QB who is a RHP/3rd baseman/outfielder for the baseball team. His 4.5 GPA and 26-ACT indicate a type versatility which will bring some prestigious institutions to his door step.

Article awarding him the Revolutionary Player/1st time

Owensboro, KY: There is no better time than the present to anoint another Independence Bank Player of the Week. Independence Bank is proud to sponsor a weekly article highlighting players in the areas where Independence Bank flourishes who embody the same type of revolutionary service to their respective football teams which has made Independence Bank unique and special in the banking industry.

Independence Bank has a goal of achieving everyday excellence, and this week we are focusing on a player whose performance exceeded expectations in week one and who will be vitally important to The Red Devils’ success in 2023. Today, we are focusing on Class of 2025, QB, Trevor “TD” DeLacey, from Owensboro’s Senior High School. 

DeLacey’s Senior High School is located right down the road from 3 Independence Bank branches on 2425 Frederica Street, 2465 W. Parrish Avenue, and 3228 KY-54, respectively. Get on by and visit the most rapidly growing bank in the commonwealth of Kentucky, Independence Bank. Independence Bank has started a revolution in the banking industry.

Trevor DeLacey is a ’25, dual threat who may make a run at some “Mr. Football” lists. He certainly will be a strong candidate to make our end of the season, Big School, All-State Football Team News Radio 840 WHAS and we throw together at season’s end.

DeLacey is a 6’2,” 170-pounder with a varied, athletic skill-set, recommending itself to plenty of sports besides football. DeLacey is on the varsity baseball team where he plays 3B, pitches, and is an outfielder. 

DeLacey’s most impressive number is his 4.5 weighted GPA “acing” Owensboro’s Senior High School’s rigorous academic curriculum. A number like that, coupled with his athleticism, means it is a near certainty some school will be footing DeLacey’s college expenses at the end of his HS career.

DeLacey has a tremendous junior season, as the linked highlights up above certainly memorialize. DeLacey completed 165 of his 249 passing attempts for 2,165-yards and 22-TDs. His completion percentage was 65.3% and he gained another 458-yards on 61-carries for a yards per carry of roughly 7.5.

DeLacey was among the team’s leaders in scoring which is not easy for a QB. A QB’s touchdown passes get credited, point wise, to the WRs.

QB Hit List is very high on DeLacey and they have been around the game awhile and probably in good position to judge such a thing. They like Delaney’s size and credits his working fluidly from the pocket.

The publication credits his accuracy, touts his arm strength, and makes specific reference regarding his “release.” QB Hit List tells us DeLacey throws well on the run, has excellent footwork, is very poised, and has a good sense for the traffic in the backfield making him able to clear space and make throws under pressure. We call this phenomenon, “Pocket Presence.”

DeLacey, again according to QB Hit List (we agree) makes good decisions with the football and shows the ability to slow things down and create a soft delivery between zone coverages. In other words, and cutting to the chase, he is a skilled operator.

We thought DeLacey’s picks were a bit high (12) a season ago but that wasn’t all his fault. Interceptions aside, the team made its fourth (4th) straight, 5A semis; finishing 9-5 while winning eight of its last 10 after getting out of the starting gate losing three (3) of the first four (4).

Congratulations to Trevor “TD” DeLacey for his Revolutionary Play during the ’23 season and that which is sure to come in ’24 all of which have earned him this week’s recognition from the fastest growing bank in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, your friends at Independence Bank.
