Summer scouting season is underway, and NFL teams are closely evaluating college talent for the upcoming draft.

Among the prospects drawing attention is Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacy.

Lacy, who transferred from Missouri, earned first-team All-SEC and first-team All-American honors in 2025.

He is listed at 5-11 and 210 pounds, and was rated a 4-star prospect by 247 Sports.

His career statistics include 329 carries for 1,671 rushing yards, averaging 5.1 yards per carry. He also recorded 31 receptions for 186 receiving yards.

Performance Metrics

According to PFF data, Lacy averaged 3.28 yards per carry after contact. He forced 95 missed tackles and handled 81.6% of the backfield carries in 2025.

Scouting reports highlight his ability to make defenders miss in open space and maintain contact balance between the tackles.

He demonstrates durability with larger workloads and shows patience to wait for running lanes.

Lacy adds depth to the running back class, offering a viable option for teams like the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

While his receiving role has been limited, his running style suggests potential for increased production in the passing game.
