Texas WR Kaliq Lockett predicted to break out this season
Summary

As Texas football gears up for the upcoming season, sophomore wide receiver Kaliq Lockett has emerged as a breakout candidate. After a limited 2025 season due to a leg injury, Lockett has shown promising signs during summer conditioning, potentially taking on a backup wide receiver role. The addition of Sterling Berkhalter may shift Lockett's positioning, but his athleticism and speed are expected to make a significant impact on the team's depth at wide receiver. Lockett's impressive play in the bowl game against Michigan has raised expectations for a substantial increase in his role this season.
