2025 NFL draft: Promising WR prospect faces serious criminal charges

According to WAFB in Baton Rogue, LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy might be in serious trouble. Lacy recently declared for the 2025 NFL draft and has the athletic potential to be a Top 50 pick. But if the reports are true, Lacy is wanted on charges of negligent homicide and felony hit-and-run.

Here are the allegations from the report supplied in the link below.

As Lacy was illegally passing the other vehicles, the driver of a northbound lane pickup truck abruptly braked and swerved to the right to avoid a head-on collision with the approaching Dodge. Traveling behind the pickup truck was a Kia Cadenza whose driver swerved left to avoid the oncoming Dodge Charger. As the Kia Cadenza took evasive action to avoid impact with the Dodge, it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a southbound Kia Sorrento. Following the crash, Lacy drove around the crash scene and fled south on LA Hwy 20 without stopping to render aid, call emergency services, or report his involvement in the crash. 

Lacy was already heading into the NFL with character concerns but this matter is far more serious for the 24-year-old.
