One of the top ranked playmakers in the 2025 class is now off the board.
Sachse (Texas) four-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett has committed to Texas, he announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Lockett is ranked as the No. 65 overall prospect in the Rivals250 as well and the No. 12 wide receiver and No. 11 prospect in the state of Texas.
The 6-foot-2, 172 pound wideout joins a Texas class that now has 17 prospects committed. HIs additions brings the Longhorns from the No. 20 class to the No. 13 class in the 2025 cycle. They are now ranked 8th in the SEC.
What Texas is getting in Lockett
The Longhorns are certainly adding a freak to their wide receiver room. Lockett, who measures in around 6-foot-2, 175 pounds has some of the most impressive measureables that can be found in the 2025 class. He has massive 10.25-inch hands, which are basically used as mitts to engulf a football. He also sports 33.5-inch arms and a 6-foot-7 wingspan. Lockett has some of the best ball skills of the playmakers this cycle and those measurements make it easy to see why.
Has seen playing time since his freshman season, but finally broke out as a junior with a phenomenal season, racking up 1,299 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns on 59 receptions.
There will certainly need to be some development in his route running at the next level, but he has shown he has quickness in a short space and can seperate. Has no problem getting on top of defenders and is almost impossible to compete with in a jump ball situation. His pure ability to catch the ball will give him opportunities to play early in Austin if his speed and route running are up to par.
