[autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag] had a great game against the Georgia State Panthers last Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
All of the talk this season has been around [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] Deservedly so, as those two guys have put up numbers like [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] and [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] in 2019. Nabers is the No. 1 wide receiver in the country and Thomas leads the country in receiving touchdowns with 14.
Lost in that shuffle is Louisiana transfer [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag]. Lacy lines up at the slot receiver position but he can be just as effective as Nabers and Thomas Jr. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] was asked his thoughts on Lacy after the game.
“He’s a very capable wide receiver, and his role has been one where he’s going to get his chances because there’s so much attention paid to those other two receivers that many times he gets the one-on-one matchups, and he’s an outstanding receiver and he’s the beneficiary,” Kelly said. “That itself I think has allowed him to not be frustrated, because he knows when he gets his chances they’re going to be big plays.
With Nabers and Thomas likely leaving after this season, Lacy could see himself in a bigger role next year.
