Lockett has outstanding bloodlines as his older brother is current UCLA starting safety, Bret Lockett.
So far Lockett is getting recruiting attention from the likes of Washington, Purdue and UConn.
What is Lockett looking for in a college?
"The most important thing is getting a good education," Lockett said. "Also I would like to go to a school that has a good coaching staff that will help me get the most out of my ability and get to the next level."
"I would like to play in Pac 10, but I won't limit my options to just Pac 10 schools," Lockett said. "Location won't be a large factor. I am willing to go where the best school will take me."
The scouting report on Lockett is he is a pure cover corner, who is also very physical and solid in run support.
Lockett is also a good student who carries a 3.6 GPA and has scored a passing 1350 SAT.
