Youngstown State’s towering young tackle brings rare length and a fast-learning upside
Maximus Lockett is a 6-foot-7 offensive lineman from Springfield Central who arrived at Youngstown State as a developmental prospect and has added size, listed at 275 pounds in the 2024 roster after entering at 250. He’s notable for his long frame, tackle-size upside, and unusual athletic background — he was a basketball player before switching to football late in high school — which suggests real movement skills for an OL. That makes him an intriguing fit for a program that likes molding big, high-ceiling linemen.
