Arthur Lockett (Houston/Yates) rushed for 1,902 yards and 26 touchdowns and averaged better than nine yards per carry as a junior. Surprisingly to some, the 5-foot-9, 185-pound running back is still looking for his first offer.
Lockett is hoping that offer comes soon, as he’s been in recent contact with Louisiana Tech and Memphis. Schools such as Houston, Texas Tech, SMU and Oregon State also have been in touch with him throughout his recruiting process.
Lockett said playing for a school that has such a rich basketball history might be a reason why his statistics have been somewhat overlooked. Rather than complain about it, Lockett said he’s preparing to trump what he did on the field last year – particularly with Yates dropping in classification from Class 4A to Class 3A.
