Mekhi Lockhart brings NFL-style frame, rare power, and real upside to Marshall’s defensive front
Lockhart is a 2025 Marshall freshman defensive lineman with a big-time body at 6-foot-4 and around 290-302 pounds, and Marshall’s staff singled out his “superb” athleticism plus thrower-level explosiveness from discus and shot put in the 2025 recruiting class notes. He was rated as a three-star signee and one of the top-250 defensive linemen nationally in the Class of 2025, which makes him more than just a space-eater: he’s a developmental lineman with tools, strength, and a high-ceiling athletic profile. If you want a young interior or edge front-body with upside, he’s the kind of low-drama, high-upside buy.
