Stacy was a football letterman at the University of Alabama from 1989-91 after spending two seasons at Coffeyville (Kan.) Community College. He was a two-year starter and two-time All-SEC performer in 1989 and 1991. During his Alabama career, he had 429 rushing attempts for 2,113 yards and 27 touchdowns. He also had 62 pass receptions for 574 yards, one touchdown and 2,787 all-purpose yards.

He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (48th pick overall) of the 1992 NFL Draft. Stacy played in only one game for the Eagles that season and was released at the end of the year.

In 1993, he tried out for the Cleveland Browns, but did not get a chance to join the team because he was arrested for theft at a K-Mart, which was pleaded down to disorderly conduct. His off-the-field troubles kept him off the field. His previous arrests include one in Geneva, Alabama, in 2004 for domestic abuse and restraining order violations, and an arrest in Opp, Alabama, in 1998 for domestic violence and criminal assault. In 2004, he was arrested in Louisiana for felony theft. He was also in an automobile accident in September 2006 which resulted in the death of two elderly people.

On November 19, 2007, Stacy was involved in an auto accident in which 6 people were killed. Bronson Stacy, 10, and Ellie Stacy, 2, and their mother, Ellen Stacy, were killed in the wreck. Also, two of his children by another woman, Laquisa Stacy, 18, and Sydney Stacy, 8, were killed. The sixth fatality was the driver of the other car, who was driving on the wrong side of the road and hit Stacy's van on the passenger side [ [http://www.wsbtv.com/news/14649364/detail.html Former Ala.
