Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.

We’re looking at a receiver who could be poised to break out in his second year with the Tigers in [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag]. A transfer from Louisiana that arrived last season with Kelly, Lacy saw a limited role in 2022 that will likely expand during his final season this fall.

Depth Chart Overview
A minimally recruited prospect coming out of high school, Lacy was a role player in his two years with the Ragin’ Cajuns, but he was one of the team’s most productive receivers. He played in 24 games in that span with six starts, leading the team in receiving as a freshman and in receiving touchdowns as a sophomore with six.
Lacy appeared in 14 games last fall during his first season at LSU, making two starts and totaling 24 catches for 268 yards, though he didn’t find the end zone.
He had a huge spring for the Tigers and was one of the stars of the spring game. Lacy is expected to compete for a lot of targets this fall with the departures of [autotag]Kayshon Boutte[/autotag] and [autotag]Jaray Jenkins[/autotag] to the NFL. Alongside players like Malik Nabers and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag], Lacy is a major part of what could be an elite receiving corps.
