On300 WR Kaliq Lockett gives Michigan BBQ visit high marks
Michigan hosted several top underclassmen recruits for unofficial visits over the weekend, including 2025 On300 wide receiver Kaliq Lockett.
The Garland (Texas) Sachse product took his first trip to Ann Arbor last month and enjoyed his return visit for the BBQ at The Big House.
“The visit went great,” Lockett said. “It’s always great to be back in The Big House. As soon as I got there, Coach (Andrew) Goodrich met me with open arms. I met with Coach (Ron) Bellamy. I saw some of the commits and key targets. It was just a great time at Michigan.”
Michigan wide receivers coach Ron Bellamy has made Lockett a top priority for next cycle and worked with him throughout the weekend.
“He talked to me about the things I needed to work on,” Lockett said. “We actually had a little skills camp. He coached me up. I really like his coaching style. He knows what he’s talking about. He’s going to get on you, but when you do something good, he’s going to let you know. That’s what I like about him. He’s down to earth and an all-around a good person. That’s what I’m looking for.”
Lockett also had an opportunity to meet some of the players on Michigan’s roster and spend time with four-star 2024 wide receiver commit I’Marion Stewart.
“I talked to the players about the campus and the academics,” Lockett said. “It wasn’t just football. We talked about what I needed to do to graduate early. I’Marion is a great guy and great player. He’s an all-around good person to be around. His family were great people.”
Lockett wasn’t the only highly touted Texas pass catcher on campus. Michigan also played host to Top 100 wide receiver Andrew Marsh. And yes, the two did talk about the possibility of linking up at the next level.
“We’ve known each other since freshman year,” Lockett said. “We have a pretty good bond since we run in the same circles. We’re both good at what we do. We talked about playing with each other, but we’ll see what the future holds. It would be really cool to potentially team up with him.”
One of the biggest storylines coming out of the BBQ at The Big House was the food, which was blasted on social media on Sunday.
However, Lockett, who lives right outside of Dallas, a BBQ mecca, gave the spread a thumbs up.
“In my opinion, the food was good,” Lockett said with a laugh. “I had a little bit of wings on Saturday and then the hot dog and mac and cheese on Sunday. I’m not sure what y’all are talking about. The hot dogs were good. I don’t know where the barbecued the hot dogs. I just ate them. I really don’t remember the other food (laughs). It was pretty good. C’mon, man.
“I’ll put it like this. The BBQ in Dallas is A1. I’ll probably eat more in Dallas, but the Michigan hot dogs were pretty good.”
So where does Michigan stand coming out of this visit?
“There is still a lot of work to be done in my recruitment with building relationships and bonds with coaches at Michigan and other schools,” Lockett said. “But Michigan is still very high in my recruitment right now.”
Along with Michigan, Lockett holds offers from Arizona State, Penn State, Louisville, Nebraska, SMU, TCU, Texas Tech and others.
At 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Lockett is ranked as the No. 22 wide receiver and No. 164 overall prospect nationally, per the On3 Industry Ranking.
