Lacey graduated from Naaman Forest High School of Garland Independent School District in Texas, in May 2005. While attending, Lacey played not only football, but varsity basketball, as well. However, in his senior year, he decided to make football his main focus. Starting as the cornerback his sophomore year, Lacey also moved to quarterback to help his team “shake things up”. The star player finished his senior season rushing 1200 yards, scoring 14 touchdowns, and passing 650 yards. In 2004, he was named first-team all-district and the offensive MVP in District 11-5A. He had offers from Oklahoma State University, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Jacob took official visits to two Big Ten schools in a matter of only 48 hours. The then senior visited Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, and departed for Iowa City on Saturday afternoon. However, after four visits to Kansas and a conversation with associate Raimond Pendleton, he decided Kansas was his spot. He later openly admitted that after an official visit to Oklahoma State, he was having some second thoughts.
Lacey attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma, as an economics major. In his freshman year, he played in ten games and started against Texas Tech. Lacey finished his freshman year with 14 tackles. Two of his tackles took place during his collegiate debut against Montana State. In his sophomore year, he started all 13 games as cornerback and finished seventh on the team with 48 tackles. While in his junior year, Lacey had three interceptions against Texas in the biggest day of his college career.
