A highly coveted wide receiver from the Class of 2025 will make his college commitment live Wednesday at 1 p.m. ET on the 247Sports Youtube channel. Kaliq Lockett will announce his decision from a group of heavyweight finalists that includes Texas, Alabama, Florida State, LSU and Texas A&M. The Longhorns are considered the favorite to land Lockett, according to the 247Sports Crystal Ball. You can watch the announcement live in the video player below.
Lockett is a five-star prospect and ranked the No. 12 overall prospect in the class by the Top247 rankings. The 6-foot-2 Sachse, Texas, product is regarded as the No. 2 receiver in the class after making 59 catches for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns during his junior season.
Lockett also shines in track at Sachse High School, which is located in the Dallas metropolitan talent hotbed. Here is the full evaluation of Lockett’s game from 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks:
Tall, long-armed, physically gifted high-major receiver prospect with excellent on-field context accompanying limitless long-term potential. Possesses enormous hands and a 6-foot-7 wingspan. Dexterous and strong-handed. Displays advanced body control, vertical bounce, and timing. More than capable of going up and over multiple defenders to get contested throws. Freaky functional athlete who can elevate, land on his feet, and burst into full gait. Detonates out of cuts with explosive acceleration. Owner of impressive combine testing and some solid track and field. Exceptional production as a junior with 59-1,299-13 (22.0 per catch), going from 43 ypg as a soph to 118 ypg as a junior. Might lack the very top-end gear the fastest receivers in the class possess, but plenty fast and otherwise more than compensates for that highest gear. Ball occasionally gets into him, but again, flashes iron traps for hands in combat situations. Do yourself a favor and watch the junior highlight reel, which is frankly insane. Projects to the high-major level as a likely impact player with long-term NFL Draft early-round potential.
Lockett, if he chooses, Texas, would be the Longhorns’ 17th total commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle and first from a receiver. But the touted prospect has been heavily pursued by his other finalists; he took official visits to all five programs between May 31 and June 21, per his 247Sports profile.
