K.J. Lacey schedules two visits to Texas

Texas quarterback commitment K.J. Lacey (Saraland, Al./High) will be on campus twice this spring. 

OnTexasFootball was informed late Wednesday night that the 6-0, 180 pound Saraland High star will be a pair of visits in April. Lacey will first visit the weekend of April 6th to be in town for the Texas big offensive recruiting weekend that includes a number of offensive targets in the 2025 cycle. He will return two weeks later for the Longhorns Spring Game April 20th weekend. 

Head coach Steve Sarkisian and quarterbacks coach A.J. Milwee made a stop at Saraland High January 30. The duo also attended Saraland High's final game of the season in 2023. 

Lacey committed to Texas June 3, 2023 over Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and Tennessee. He has 29 known offers, including nine from the SEC. 

Ole Miss and Auburn continue to pursue Lacey. 

Lacey will be a rare four year starter on the varsity level at quarterback. He enters his senior campaign 439 of 652 for 6,841 yards with 83 touchdowns. Saraldn High is 28-2 the last two seasons, including a State Championship in 2022. They lost in the state title game in 2023.

Would kill for the testing results from the UA camp in ATL last weekend 

 

Those shorts wouldve got a kid bullied back in my day, but Lacey's lower body build looks better than expected based on his HT/WT listing 

Having Lacey and Will Griffin in back to back classes would give Texas a 4 year and 5 year starter in the QB room

His rankings are all over the place.  Is he a 5 star like rivals has him?  Also, are there any concerns about arm strength?

Having seen him in person three times, he can make all the throws. Sark doesn't recruit a QB unless they can make all the throws required in his system.

How big of a recruiter is KJ?  Is he trying to bring anyone in the class with him?

Love this kid’s game! And it looks like he’s getting a little bigger? Out of ‘does he spread the ball around’ curiosity , does anyone know how many of his completions are to his 5-star teammate vs his other pass catchers?
