Kaliq Lockett, a 2025 wide receiver out of Sachse, has earned an offer from OU football and the Sooners’ staff
Oklahoma already has a few talented receivers committed for the 2025 class. But now, the Sooners are officially in pursuit of another.
Kaliq Lockett has been added to OU’s board, reporting an offer from the program on social media. This is a prospect that the Sooners’ staff has been monitoring, and deservedly so.
According to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Player Rankings, the world of recruiting sees Lockett as the No. 93 overall recruit in the 2025 class. The four-star also rates as the No. 11 receiver in the nation and a top-15 player in the state of Texas (No. 14)
But as for the 247Sports Network’s specific rankings, our panel of national experts are far higher on Lockett’s abilities. There, he checks-in as the No. 12 overall prospect across the ‘25 cycle. Placing Lockett well inside future five-star territory as a top-15 player nationally, 247Sports also has him as a top-three wideout in the country and a top-three recruit inside the Lone Star State. The following is the 247Sports scouting report on Lockett, courtesy of network national 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 turned in a stellar junior season where he put up 1300 yards and 13 touchdowns on 59 receptions. Early contenders have emerged like Michigan, LSU and Penn State, but more regional powers have long been expected to become greater presences within Lockett’s recruitment. Oklahoma, certainly a part of that, is now joining the offer sheet.
The Sooners’ wide receiver coach, Emmett Jones, is a prominent figure with the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Because of that, he’s known and kept up with Lockett for quite awhile. It was more a matter of ‘when’ not ‘if’, but with that out of the way, it’s now up to Jones and OU’s staff to advance. Lockett will have no shortage of suitors, but expect the Sooners to become a primary presence as his process plays out.
