Wisconsin QB commit Landyn Locke out for senior season with torn ACL

Rockwall (Texas) three-star quarterback and Wisconsin commit Landyn Locke will miss the rest of the high school football season with a torn ACL, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder was injured in the team’s game last weekend against Lake Travis and was helped off the field. On Tuesday, he tweeted “Thank you Rockwall football” with a handful of images of him and his teammates.

And on Wednesday, Riddle reported that he had suffered a season-ending knee-injury just two games into his final year of high school football.

Locke, who committed to the Badgers in June, was off to a strong start in his senior campaign, completing 30 of 54 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns. That followed up a terrific junior season — his first as a full-time starter — where he threw for over 1,700 yards and 19 touchdowns while completing better than 60 percent over his attempts.

He is the No. 1035 overall prospect in the 2025 class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 61 quarterback recruit and No. 160 prospect in Texas.

The Yellowjackets, who fell in a 45-42 heartbreaker to Lake Travis after losing Locke, are 1-1 on the season and will hope to turn things around with a game at Lewisville on Friday night.
