Lackey showed some upside in limited action behind an FBS back in 2020, and in 2021 he proved to be one of the most productive in the state rushing for 1300 yards on the season. He hits his top speed quickly and at 6′ 205 lbs. he has a strong frame to be a good power back at the next level. His speed is average, but quick accelerator allows for him to rip off good runs plus has good vision reading the 2nd level of the defense. Lackey definitely needs to work on his explosion out his cuts. He runs pretty low to the ground, but could be better. Fluid at changing directions considering his stout frame. Lackey has a few areas to improve fundamentally, but a solid frame to work with and his production should catch your eye in 2021. Overall, he is one of the better athletes at his size at RB in the state of Georgia, and will find a spot one way or another. We suspected that Lackey would be set for a good senior year, and he did just that. He rushed for over 1k yards and was named All-Region. He’s a solid back, who is really going to make just one cut, and use his size/speed to get around defenders. Lackey can run a little too high at times, and we would like to see his pad level get lower, but overall his production and athleticism should attract a strong list of schools late here.
