Kyren Lacy College Stats: Career numbers, key performances & season-by-season breakdown

Kyren Lacy, a former LSU wide receiver, was found dead on Sunday. He declared for the 2025 NFL draft and was expected to be an undrafted free agent, according to NFL Draft Buzz.

This is mostly due to the legal issues surrounding him, but predictions made before the incidents projected him as a second or third-round pick.

Lacy played five years of college football between 2020-2024. He first played for the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns before transferring to the Tigers.

Let's look at what he was able to do on the field during his college football career.

Ben enjoys following college sports more than the NBA or NFL because there is more variation in terms of playstyles. The tournaments are often more competitive than the major leagues, and due to the constant turnover of players, there are rarely any "superteams" in college sports.

He prioritizes research, looks at multiple sources and publications to make sure he gets the full picture of the story before writing. He tries not to write from a one-sided perspective to allow the reader to be able to make their mind up on their own.

A Texas Longhorns fan, as well as a massive New York Giants fan, some of his favorite college players of all time are Arch Manning, Tim Tebow and Reggie Bush.

When he is not working, Ben enjoys watching films (especially Godzilla) and spending time with his cat.
