It is a “difficult moment” of “duel, commotion and disbelief” in the LSU costume this week, said coach Brian Kelly on Tuesday when the Tigers cry the loss of the open receiver Kyren Lacy.
Lacy, who was probably scheduled to be a NFL Draft selection at the end of this month, was found dead with a “self -inflicted bullet wound” after a police persecution in Texas on Saturday night, authorities said. I was 24 years old.
Kelly told journalists on Tuesday after the spring practice of the team that have brought the university’s professional advice team to help those in the locker room who need it.

“Certainly, I think that everyone in our team, in some way, has had a relationship at different levels with Kyren. Everyone will deal with that differently. First, understanding that there is no way that you are supposed to feel,” Kelly said. “We greatly support ourselves in our professional advice department. Having that resource here allows them to look for that kind of individual conversation that some may need. You want to provide the opportunity for their players to have those resources if they in fact need them.”
Kelly spoke very well about his former receiver, whom he called a “bright star.”
“I had an incredible personality. I will remember it as someone who had a love for the game, a love for being a tiger, and it was a guy who played with great emotion. When you think of Kyren, you will smile most of the time due to the way it was handled. It was a full type of energy, and I think many of their teammates will remember it like that.”

The Harris County Sheriff’s office said the agents received a call about a man, identified as Lacy, who was arguing with a family member when he fired a weapon on the ground, according to Fox 26 Houston. The authorities learned that Lacy had fled the scene and launched a search after him.
The authorities said the agents tried to make a traffic stop in Lcy, but he led them to a car persecution that continued by miles. Lacy then crashed his vehicle in spring, according to the authorities.
The deputies who responded eliminated the LACY from the vehicle to stop him, but was found with a “self -inflicted gunshot wound” and was declared dead on the scene, said the Sheriff’s office.
The open receiver was under investigation in Louisiana in relation to an accident in December that left a 78 -year -old man, the authorities said in January.
