DANTONIO ON LOCKETT:
“Terry Lockett made the commitment here this past weekend, but he's a guy that we recruited really throughout the entire year, and offered him early in the process. He’s an excellent basketball player, very fluid, makes all the catches. Just a polished receiver with great hand-eye coordination and an outstanding player. We'll take him basically as an athlete. He'll start on the wide receiver side of the ball, but he may find himself playing a little defense.”
