Texas Longhorns QB Hosts 4-Star RB on Official Visit

Both are products of Alabama, as Lacey is from Saraland and Crowell from Jackson. Lacey posted a picture with Crowell on social media with the hashtag "251 boys," which is the area code for southwest Alabama.

Take a look, per CJ Vogel of OnTexasFootball:

Crowell has received offers from programs like Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, Penn State, Texas A&M, Georgia, Michigan, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Miami and many more.

As for Lacey, he recently opened up about why he chose Texas as a four-star prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.

"Texas wasn't just another school on the list," Lacey wrote on TikTok. "It was a place that believed in me before the spotlight got bright. The coaches saw more than talent they saw potential. The culture, the brotherhood, the standard... it all felt real. I wanted to be somewhere that wasn't just chasing wins, but building something. Of all the offers, Texas felt like home. Not just for football, but for my future."

Lacey received praise from Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian in April after impressing in live action during spring ball. 

"All three of these guys this spring have played their best when we scrimmaged," Sarkisian said of the quarterbacks. "That's a really good sign for us ... KJ and Trey in particular, because I don't have as much information on them. ... All of a sudden I saw KJ Lacey's mobility and athleticism show up in Thursday night's scrimmage, and him extending plays, and him coaching guys on the situations and him being a really vocal leader."
