Big-bodied run stuffer with early Georgia State impact
Joe Lockley entered Georgia State as a 6-foot-1, 290-pound defensive tackle and quickly earned playing time as a true freshman, with reports noting he was one of the strongest players on the team and a top backup on the defensive line in 2012. He also flashed disruptive instincts with an interception on a tipped ball that season, which is a nice little bonus for a trench guy. The fit is clear: if a team wants a physical interior defender built to absorb blocks, anchor against the run, and play with sneaky playmaking juice, Lockley checks the box.
