After three years with LSU football, wide receiver Kyren Lacy is off to the next level. He’ll look to join a handful of Tiger receivers, finding success in the NFL.
Lacy arrived at LSU in 2022 after beginning his career at Louisiana. When Brian Kelly took over the program, he was forced to rebuild. Lacy was one of several transfers that helped Kelly get roster numbers where needed.
Lacy wasn’t a featured player immediately but was in the rotation. Lacy caught 24 passes for 268 yards in 2022. In 2023, his role increased as LSU had the best offense in the country. Despite sharing targets with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr, Lacy caught 30 passes for 558 yards, putting him at an impressive 18.6 yards per catch.
With Nabers and Thomas in the NFL, 2024 was a chance for Lacy to lead the room. He posted career highs across the board, catching 58 passes for 866 yards and nine touchdowns. His nine touchdowns are tied for most in the SEC.
