Sachse coach Mark Behrens says Kaliq Lockett's ball skills are next level – as in the NFL level, not just high-level college football. "His ball skills are just unbelievable," Behrens told Dave Campbell's Texas Football. "He's always working to improve on them. He played early on for us, and in his junior year he just expanded into unbelievable situations. Any time we needed something big, we tried to get it to him. And then he would go make the play." That would be an understatement. As a high school junior, Lockett collected 59 receptions for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns. "His 6-foot-7 catch radius is unlike anything I've seen," Behrens said. "He is known for his knack of high pointing the ball and we know he's going to go up and get football over that defender."

Kaliq Lockett's ability to separate and track the football as a downfield target reminds us of Rashod Bateman. Both were at a similar size and very productive as high school prospects. Bateman was better after the catch and was a top basketball player, while Lockett was more established as a contested catch target.
