5-star WR Kaliq Lockett signs with Texas Longhorns

Sachse (Texas) five-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett has signed with Texas.

Lockett is the nation’s No. 30 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is the No. 6 wideout in the class and the No. 9 recruit from the state of Texas.

The 6-foot-1.5, 175-pound Lockett chose the Longhorns on Aug. 7 after a hard-fought recruitment. Alabama, Florida State, LSU and Texas A&M were in it until the end.

“It really came down to putting on for my home state and belief in what Coach Sark and Coach (Chris) Jackson have in-state for me,” Lockett told On3 in August.

“I’m going to have to do all the work. But I know if I do the work, if I compete, buy in, learn the playbook, get good grades and stay out of trouble, I know I’ll see the field freshman year and I know I’ll be successful.”

Lockett scored seven touchdowns for Sachse this season.
