Ty Lockwood calls himself a student of the game, and even though he was heavily recruited, he said he continues to work hard at getting better and better. Yet, there’s a lot to already like about his game. “I love to have the ball in my hands,” he said. “I love catching, running routes. That’s what I kind of pride my game off of. And I can block, too. I try to be as complete as I can but running routes and catching are my favorite things to do in all of football.” Lockwood isn’t sure what he wants to major in during his time in college, but he’s thinking about business. Away from football, he enjoys playing video games and is a member of the school’s honor roll. His parents are April and David Lockwood. His siblings are Dylan and Morgan Lockwood.
