Per his papa Scott, Drew Trimble has committed to the U.S. Naval Academy. The Lexington Christian Academy star will participate in a signing ceremony at school in a few days.

 

Congratulations Drew, to you and your whole family!

Congrats to Mr. Trimble. Look forward to seeing him do big things in the future!

 

This was one of the most underrated kids in the 11th this past season and Navy is getting a great kid.

That's awesome, congratulations on a bright future.

You simply cannot beat a service academy education. Congrats!

Spoke with someone close to the situation. They said that a huge selling point was how up-front Navy was about how difficult the path would be there.

 

Drew will be spending a year at the Naval Academy Prep School where he'll probably get a long look at the 3 slot, and possibly play some of the 4 as well.

 

In general, it seemed that Navy viewed Drew as a face-up 4 or wing 3 primarily but loved the versatility he had in that he could slide to the 2 or 5 if they absolutely had to due to foul trouble, but have zero interest in him being the main post player.

Congrats! How big is he?

Legit 6'7 easy, probably 6'8. Nice size, and he'll probably be hard at work to put on some weight, but he's really skilled. Grew from 6'2 a few summers ago, so he's played as a guard for awhile because that's what he always projected as.

Was told Drew signed on Wednesday in a ceremony at the school. Congratulations to him, and he's a kid whose development I'll be interested in tracking.

That's great to hear. If he survives Plebe year basketball will be nothing.

Was a pleasure to watch him the past two years at the All A State tourney, Congrats.

Congrats to Drew. I think all of the armed forces academies are vastly underrated. You simply cannot beat the way they set you up for your future all while continuing your athletic career.
