Former LSU football wide receiver Kyren Lacy remains on his teammates' minds in Baton Rouge.

Lacy died back in April in Houston . He was 24.
Authorities were called out for a verbal dispute between Lacy and a female family member, and Lacy discharged a firearm into the ground. Lacy fled the scene before police arrived, with the pursuit ending with his death.

Last December, Lacy was booked and charged with negligent homicide, reckless operation of a vehicle with an accident, and a hit-and-run that caused the death of 78-year-old Herman Hall, which is a felony. Lacy turned himself in and posted a $151,000 bond the same day.
Lacy's attorney, Matthew Ory, denied in early February that Lacy caused the car accident that led Hall's death, saying that accident "occurred directly in front of him when a second vehicle in the oncoming lane crossed the centerline and collided with Mr. Herman's vehicle, in which he was a passenger."

Nussmeier and most of the LSU team not only played with Lacy but were close with him, and they attended Lacy's memorial service along with LSU head football coach Brian Kelly and his coaching staff.
Kelly said after Lacy's death that he'll remember his former player fondly and that he'll smile most of the time.
"Kyren was a bright star," Kelly said in April. "Mental health is one of the facets of player development that you're working with in my field. It's happened before, and I don't take a situation like this as one that could never happen. You're always on guard for it.
"He had an incredible personality. I'll remember him as somebody that had a love for the game, a love for being a Tiger, and was a guy that played with great emotion. When you think of Kyren, you're going to smile most of the time because of the way he handled himself. He was a guy that was full of energy. I think a lot of his teammates will remember him that way as well."
