2020 (Freshman)

Before Nebraska (Miami Northwestern HS)
Delancy is one of several Florida natives in Nebraska’s freshman class, including his Miami Northwestern teammate Marcus Fleming. Delancy joined the Huskers after being a part of three state championship teams during his prep career.

Delancy starred for coach Max Edwards at Miami Northwestern as a junior and senior, winning back-to-back state titles. Delancy played both corner and safety, and he recorded more than 50 tackles as a senior. He was a playmaker in the secondary for the Bulls, totaling more than a dozen passes defended with four interceptions, three of which he returned for touchdowns. He also recorded one safety and blocked three field goals. Delancy helped Northwestern to a 5A state championship as a senior and a 6A state title as a junior. He began his career at Carol City High School, which won the 6A state championship in his freshman season.

Delancy, a consensus three-star recruit, had numerous offers and chose Nebraska over Louisville, Miami, Missouri, Pittsburgh and Washington State, among others.
