Missouri hosted the 6-foot, 205-pound prospect for an official visit in November for their win over Florida.

"It was great," Lacy recently said of his Mizzou visit. "It's a great program. I like it a lot. It's a real brotherhood over there. I talked to the players and I just love it over there."

"They're telling me that I can come in as a true freshman and play."

As a whole, Lacy held nearly 30 offers total on his resume.

He becomes Missouri's 17th overall commitment in the 2024 recruiting class.

"He has elite vision and instincts as a runner - burst, acceleration, and feet in the hole," a college coach/evaluator, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.

"He has very good balance and body control and can run with power. He has very good speed. He is a high-floor, high-ceiling prospect. He's an every-down back and he shows value in the passing game. He will play early regardless of school."
