The Kansas State football team went back to an extremely familiar source when head coach Collin Klein offered a scholarship to Jacob Lockett on Sunday.
K-State fans of all ages will recognize this recruit’s last name.
Lockett is a 6-foot and 170-pound wide receiver from Blue Valley High School who picked up an offer from the Wildcats after participating in a football camp in Manhattan. He is a three-sport athlete who caught 37 passes for 609 yards and eight touchdowns last season.
He is also related to some of the top playmakers in K-State football history.
If Lockett commits to K-State, he will follow in the footsteps of his father (Kevin), his uncle (Aaron) and his two older brothers (Sterling and Tyler) by wearing a purple uniform.
Sterling Lockett is a senior on the current K-State roster.
Tyler Lockett is the most accomplished wide receiver in school history. He owns just about every program record imaginable with 249 catches for 3,710 yards and 29 touchdowns. There is a reason why he went on to have a successful career in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans and Las Vegas Raiders.
Kevin Lockett is just behind him, with 3,032 career yards.
Not to be outdone, Aaron Lockett piled up 2,400 receiving yards when he played for the Wildcats.
K-State is the first power-conference team to offer Jacob Lockett a scholarship. Lockett previously held offers from Army, Pittsburg State, Southeast Missouri State and a few junior colleges. But his recruitment is expected to ramp up over the next month as he visits various college camps across the region.
His twin brother, Jordan Lockett, is also being recruited by several college teams and holds a scholarship offer from McNeese State.
