2023 wide receiver Robert Lockhart III decommits from Jackson State

Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes wide receiver Robert Lockhart III has decommitted from Jackson State.

The 5-foot-5, 160-pounder had been committed to the Tigers since April, when he chose JSU over Colorado, Maryland, Florida A&M, Liberty and a handful of other schools.

Lockhart is the No. 777 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 111 wide receiver and the No. 74 senior recruit in the state of Georgia.

His decommitment comes on the heels of Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders leaving the Tigers to take the head coaching job at Colorado.

The Buffaloes actually made Lockhart’s final three schools before he ultimately committed to Jackson State.
