LSU’s talented receiving corps is likely due for some major losses this offseason with both [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] expected to head off to the NFL.
Another wideout who could have potentially joined them was [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag], but on Monday, Lacy announced that he will be returning to the Tigers in 2024 for what will be his fifth season of college football.
A native of Thibodaux, Louisiana, Lacy began his career at UL-Lafayette before joining LSU as a transfer ahead of Brian Kelly’s first season in 2022.
He played in 14 games with two starts last fall, recording 268 yards on 24 catches with no touchdowns. He saw a much bigger role in 2023, however, starting nine of 12 games.

Though he only had 24 receptions again, his production rose considerably as he finished with 463 yards and seven touchdowns. He surpassed 100 yards in a game twice this season in wins over Auburn and Georgia State.
Lacy has had to split targets quite a bit in his first two seasons at LSU, but he could see his role expand significantly as he may find himself as the top wideout in the roster in 2024.
