Texas A&M is in need of wide receiver help after the departure of veteran Ainias Smith, who will enter the 2024 NFL Draft after five seasons in Aggieland. With new head coach Mike Elko at the helm, he brought former Kansas State OC Collin Klein to replace Bobby Petrino in 2024.
Looking to add more speed and versatility while attempting to replace Smith’s production, the transfer portal has presented the Aggies with several intriguing options, already landing one in former Old Dominion wide receiver Javon Harvey earlier this week.
However, while many of us pegged the former Missouri/North Texas wide receiver Ja’Mori Maclin as a sure thing, Maclin will instead transfer to Kentucky, joining former Texas A&M WR Raymond Cottrell. Instead, one of Elko’s first portal selections, South Alabama WR Caullin Lacy, visited College Station last weekend and reportedly narrowed his options to Texas A&M and Louisville.
BREAKING: Former South Alabama WR Caullin Lacy tells me he’s down to 2️⃣ Schools!
The 5’10, 190 lb WR from Mobile, AL had 91 Receptions for 1,316 Yards (14.5 AVG) & 7 TD’s this season for the Jaguars

Lacy is coming off his productive 2023 season, ranked 5th in the country in receptions (91) and yards with 1,316, including seven touchdown receptions. For reference, this season combined, Lacy recorded more yards than both of the Aggies’ leading receivers, Ainias Smith and Evan Stewart (1,309).
Standing at 5-10 190 pounds, Lacy is a versatile and experienced receiver who could instantly replace any lost production concerning Smith and potentially Evan Stewart’s departures (barring any announcement) in 2024.
