"I am going to summer school
this summer, so I did not have a chance to go to any camps," added Lacy.
Eddie
rushed for over 1, 800 yards and 26 TD's as a junior for Dutchtown. There are
several factors that contributed to his performance.
"I am like a power and speed back. It depends
on the situation. In short yardage situations, I will run over you to get the
1st down. But if it is like 3rd and 10, I will make you miss and go for a while.
I can shake you down too."
Lacy was named to the LSWA Class 5A All-State
Team as a junior, but he does not plan to set any goals for the upcoming season.
"I
do not set goals because once you get to them, you have a tendency to not push
yourself anymore."
Which colleges have offered the talented tailback?
"I
have offers from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, Iowa, Florida State, Minnesota,
Nebraska, and La Tech."
Which schools stand out?
"Tennessee,
Alabama, and Florida State do. I do not know why either. Those are just my favorites
right now."
What stands out about the Vols?
"I never watched
college football until the last couple of years, so the teams I like, I am going
to watch them this year. So far, I have only been to LSU's campus and that was
for Jr Day."
What got the 6' 0", 210 pound back interested in
Tennessee?
"They send a lot of letters and talk to my coaches all
of the time. They are interested in me, and I am interested in them too. It is
the same with FSU and Alabama, they send me a lot of letters, more than the other
schools. That is why I have more interest in them than the other schools."
But
when asked which coaches he has kept in contact with this summer, a couple of
different schools were mentioned."
"I have spoken to a coach
from Alabama, MSU, and a coach from Oklahoma."
What were the sells
from each school?
"Alabama called and told me they wanted me to come
to one of their camps, but I was in summer school. MSU told me basically the same
things. They said I can get some reps over there, and that I would be a good fit
for their offense. But I really do not know anything about MSU or their offense
because I have never watched them. Oklahoma compared me to Adrian Peterson. They
said I run just like him and that is exactly what they needed."
When
it does come decision time; what will be the main factors?
"I want
to go to more of a running school than a passing school. I will also look at what
year their returning starter is at RB."
Lacy reports a 2.0 GPA / 17
ACT.
