Texas signee KJ Lacey of Saraland was crowned the 2024 Mr. Football winner by the Alabama Sports Writers Association on Tuesday.
The senior quarterback and Texas signee was named the state’s top high school football player for 2024 by the Alabama Sports Writers Association at the annual Player of the Year Banquet in Montgomery on Tuesday afternoon.
Lacey, who is already in school at Texas, flew in Tuesday morning for the banquet and was scheduled to fly back out later in the afternoon. Lacey also was named Class 6A Back of the Year on Tuesday at the annual ASWA banquet sponsored by ALFA Insurance and the Alabama High School Athletic Directors and Coaches Association.
Saraland went 41-3 in Lacey’s three years as the starting quarterback and played in three straight 6A title games, winning the championship in 2022. He finished second in career passing yards in AHSAA history behind only Piedmont’s Jack Hayes with 10,985 yards. “KJ is super twitchy, instinctive. He’s like a point guard out there who distributes the ball so well,” said David Morris, founder of QB Country. “He’s very athletic, though he doesn’t run around a ton. At Saraland, they didn’t do a lot of QB runs, but he can do that and he may be at his most dangerous when a play breaks down a little and he has to improvise.”
