A recent report from CBS Sports cited anonymous sources claiming a disconnect between Brian Kelly and his players following the team’s 36-33 win at South Carolina.
One veteran Tiger is signing a different tune.
Senior wide receiver Kyren Lacy joined “After Further Review” with Matt Moscona and spoke about his experience playing for Kelly:
It’s amazing because he literally transformed me as a player, not just on the field but off the field. My mental has grown. It’s not about me anymore. It’s about the team. So he made me realize that I have to put the team first and everything else is going to come. So when I always talk about the little details, I get that from coach Kelly because when you sit back and watch and really pay attention, the little details do show up. The little details that you think will show up, they show up every single time. So when I talk about details, discipline, winning, because we all want to win. Coach Kelly is always emphasizes winning is what’s important now. So that’s how I go about it because Kelly helped me tremendously on and off the field.
Lacy spent the first two years of his career at UL-Lafayette before transferring to LSU before Kelly’s first season in Baton Rouge in 2022. He is currently second nationally with five touchdown catches through the first three weeks.
