(Baton Rouge, Louisiana) – Former LSU receiver Kyren Lacy passed away last night.

Details on his death are limited now, but the former LSU football player hoped to get drafted in the upcoming NFL Draft.

As you may recall, Lacy was charged with negligent homicide after allegedly being involved in a felony hit-and-run in December 2024. As a result, he was not invited to the NFL combine to showcase his talents, but he did recently participate in the LSU pro day in Baton Rouge.

Lacy was from Thibodaux, Louisiana.
