Watch Former Tulane Green Wave Receiver Warm Up for Tennessee Volunteers Debut
From New Orleans to Knoxville, Dykes' Arrival Brings Intrigue
Former Tulane Green Wave wide receiver Kyren Lacy is set to make his highly anticipated debut for the Tennessee Volunteers this season. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound wideout has been turning heads during preseason workouts and is expected to be a key contributor in Josh Heupel's high-octane offense.
Preseason Buzz Surrounds Lacy
Lacy has impressed coaches and teammates alike with his athleticism and route-running ability. The native of New Orleans has drawn comparisons to former Vol greats like Marquez Callaway and Jauan Jennings.
- Lacy led the Green Wave in receiving yards (502) and touchdowns (6) in 2021.
- He was named to the All-American Athletic Conference Honorable Mention Team.
- He is expected to start opposite Cedric Tillman in the Volunteers' offense.
Heupel's Offense a Welcome Change
After struggling in Willie Fritz's run-heavy offense at Tulane, Lacy is excited to showcase his talents in Heupel's wide-open system. The Volunteers' offense ranked among the top 10 in passing yards per game last season.
Lacy's ability to make plays downfield could open up the offense for Tennessee's other playmakers, such as quarterback Hendon Hooker and running back Jabari Small.
Expectations High for Debuting Wideout
Tennessee fans have high hopes for Lacy this season. The Volunteers are looking to rebound from a disappointing 7-6 campaign and make a run at the SEC East Division title.
Lacy's performance will be crucial to the Volunteers' success. If he can live up to the hype, he could become one of the most dangerous receivers in the SEC.
