Kyren Lacy’s NFL friend Amik Robertson shares their final text messages

Tragic news hit the football world as 24-year-old former LSU wide receiver Kyren Lacy passed away in Houston, Texas, just days before the NFL Draft.

Lacy’s death comes amidst legal troubles stemming from a fatal car accident involving 78-year-old Herman Hall in December 2024, in which the receiver was implicated.

Scheduled to appear before a grand jury on April 14, Lacy had been released on a $151,000 bond.

Close friend and Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson shared his final texts with Lacy before his untimely death.

“I need you to trust the process & put it in God’s hands,” Robertson wrote to Lacy on January 11. “Keep faith brodie. Love n–a. I’m always here right or wrong.”

In response, Lacy expressed gratitude with a heart emoji, showing appreciation for Robertson’s support.

Their final exchange captured in the post reflected Lacy’s determination, stating, “Appreciate dat bro needed to hear dat!! They gone feel us!”

Lacy began his college career at Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns before transferring to LSU in 2022.

During his time with the Tigers, Lacy achieved impressive stats with 112 receptions, 1,692 receiving yards, and 16 touchdowns over three seasons.

Despite his passing, the investigation into the December 2024 accident continues, with Louisiana State Police examining the circumstances and legal proceedings moving forward as planned.
