The new leader of the Aggies’ receiving unit will be Colin Lockett, who brings much coaching experience from the FBS level.
Lockett was previously a graduate assistant at Oregon, helping guide one of the nation’s most prolific offenses. He worked with both the wide receivers and running backs in his one season in Eugene.
From 2021 to 2022, Lockett was the defensive backs quality control coach at the University of Washington, where he assisted in recruiting and developing some of the nation’s best prospects. He held a similar role at his alma mater San Diego State from 2020 to 2021 as a graduate assistant.
Lockett is on the rise as one of the top young coaches in the country as he was selected as one of nine to participate in the 2nd annual Diversity Coaching Summit held in the TCO Performance Center – the home of the Minnesota Vikings.
He got his start in coaching at high school powerhouse St. John Bosco (2017-19), serving as the defensive backs coach for the 2019 High School National Champions.
Lockett was a three-year starter at the wide receiver position for San Diego State and went on to play in the NFL for three years, enjoying stints with Cincinnati Bengals and Washington.
