Death Confirmed

The tragic passing of Kyren Lacy, a promising NFL prospect and former wide receiver for LSU, has been confirmed at the age of 24. The announcement was made by Louisiana State University.

Details Surrounding His Death

Reports indicate that Lacy was found deceased between late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. An official with LSU verified this information to FOX 26, although the exact circumstances of his death are still unclear.

Multiple sources suggest that Lacy was located in Houston, Texas, but further confirmation is being sought. His cause of death has not yet been disclosed.

A Glimpse at His Career

Kyren Lacy had a distinguished career at LSU, leading the team in touchdown receptions with nine in the previous season. On December 19, he announced his intent to enter the NFL Draft through a post on the social media platform X.

However, just two days prior to this announcement, Lacy was reportedly involved in a serious car accident in Louisiana. According to the Louisiana State Police, he was driving recklessly on State Highway 20 on December 17, overtaking several vehicles at high speed.

In a concerning turn of events, Lacy allegedly crossed the centerline into oncoming traffic, prompting other drivers to swerve in an attempt to avoid a collision. This resulted in a tragic head-on crash, ultimately leading to the death of a passenger in another vehicle. Lacy reportedly fled the scene without reporting his involvement to authorities.

Response from LSU

In the wake of Lacy’s untimely death, Louisiana State University issued a heartfelt statement expressing their sorrow:

“We’re saddened to learn of the tragic passing of former LSU Football student-athlete Kyren Lacy. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones, as well as his former teammates and coaches impacted by his passing.”
