Massive Mississippi State freshman lineman with real upside
TJ Lockhart is a 6-foot-5, 350-pound redshirt sophomore in the 2026 Mississippi State roster mix, and the appeal is obvious: rare size, tackle/guard flexibility, and a local pedigree from a state-title Winona program. In his limited college action, he has played in three career games with no starts, so he is still more projection than proven production. What makes him intriguing is the frame and mass to become a true power-side OL fit if his technique keeps catching up to his body—very much a developmental swing worth betting on.
