Former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels recently expressed his grief upon learning about the untimely passing of his ex-teammate, Kyren Lacy, at 24 years old. The two athletes played together during their time at LSU, where Daniels notably earned the Heisman Trophy in 2023 and was selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. Lacy, who had transferred from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to LSU in 2022, shared the field with Daniels for two seasons.
In a touching tribute on his Instagram page, Daniels reminisced about the moments he shared with Lacy, highlighting their camaraderie and friendship. Among the memories he shared was a video from the previous year's NFL draft, showing Lacy's joy for both Daniels and Malik Nabers, who were drafted. Daniels also fondly recalled his final collegiate touchdown pass to Lacy, a 15-yard completion during a victory over Texas A&M.
The loss of Kyren Lacy has deeply affected Jayden Daniels, who continues to honor their bond and the memories they created during their time as teammates at LSU.
