Texas has landed a commitment from 5-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett, a top prospect from Sachse High School. According to 247Sports, Lockett is the No. 12 overall prospect in the nation and the No. 5 player in Texas for the class of 2025. The Longhorns, who have been aggressively pursuing him, hosted Lockett for an official visit in June, which played a crucial role in his decision to commit.
Lockett, a 6-foot-2, 175-pound senior, had an outstanding junior season, catching 59 passes for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns while averaging an impressive 22 yards per reception. His performance on the field showcases his abilities as a big-bodied target with a large catch radius, thanks to his 6-foot-7 wingspan. He is physical at the point of attack, using his strength to overpower defenders and create separation.
One of Lockett’s standout attributes is his superb body control, which allows him to make acrobatic catches and play above the rim. He excels in high-pointing the football in heavy traffic and consistently wins 50/50 jump balls. His speed makes him a deep threat capable of stretching the field and taking the top off defenses, adding a vertical dimension to his game.
Lockett is a sure-handed receiver who runs crisp and precise routes, making him a reliable target for quarterbacks. His combination of size, strength and speed makes him a versatile and dynamic playmaker.
Lockett is the 17th commitment for the Longhorns in their 2025 recruiting class, adding significant talent and depth to their roster. His commitment is a big-time addition for Texas, as he is expected to make a substantial impact on the field in the coming years. With his ability to create mismatches and make big plays, Lockett is poised to become a key player for the Longhorns for years to come.
