Roy Locks brings old-school disruption and proven program pedigree to Northwestern State
Roy Locks was a major defensive playmaker for Northwestern State in the 2002 season, earning Southland Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors and All-America recognition after posting 70 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, and 10 sacks; he finished his Demon career with 224 tackles and 18.5 sacks, numbers that scream impact.
