While not getting much action his freshman season he backed it up his sophomore year by rushing for 1352 yards and 13 touchdowns his sophomore season.

Those numbers in his sophomore year earned with first-team all-state honors along with offensive newcomer of the year in Texas 6A-D1.

After bursting onto the scene at Fort Worth Nolanm he transferred after one season and went to Lancaster High School which is a private institution in Texas class 5A. Last season Lacy complied 730 yards along with 11 touchdowns and compiled 226 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

With those numbers his junior year, that got him first-team all-district last season.

All of that gave him the laundry list of schools that are going after him.

As for ASU, they extended a scholarship offer to him back on May 7, after he visited on April 28.
