Report: Ex-USA receiver Caullin Lacy headed to Louisville

Former South Alabama wide receiver Caullin Lacy is transferring to Louisville, On3 Sports is reporting.

Lacy set a Jaguars program record with 91 receptions in 2023, along with 1,316 yards and seven touchdowns in 12 games. His reception and yardage totals both rank sixth nationally.

A Mobile native who played his high school football at Faith Academy, Lacy is by far the most high-profile player to leave South Alabama through the transfer portal. He is the Jaguars’ all-time leader with 207 receptions in four seasons, along with 2,517 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Lacy, who has one season of college eligibility remaining, joins a Louisville program that also landed Alabama transfer receiver Ja’Corey Brooks on Friday. The Cardinals are 10-4 after losing to Florida State in the ACC championship game, and will face USC in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27.

The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Lacy also visited Texas A&M and Oregon and had a transfer offer from Auburn. He also considered entering the NFL draft.

South Alabama (6-6) faces Eastern Michigan (6-6) in the 68 Ventures Bowl at Hancock Whitney Stadium on Dec. 23.
