A blast from the past...Locksley's signing day interview. The texags OR board read it and said "We hope you like redshirting and then being asked to move to wr, kid."
quote:
"The plan that the Texas staff had for me going into and after signing day, they really wanted me to get acclimated fast to the system and really have a hot chance of being the guy Day 1," Locksley said.
"The quarterback is a position that they're struggling at right now, and they need a guy to come bring the fire and be a leader and bring that offense back to where it was, so that opportunity and the support and the love that they showed me really helped with the commitment."
Charlie knew this kid would never play qb at Texas. Kid was sold a pack of lies by the Texas staff from Day 1 onward.

Locksley said he plans to get on the field next year.
"Absolutely. That's part of the coaches' plans for me. They want me to get equipped to the system and the scheme and being a leader and looking to be that guy for this year and this fall at the University of Texas, so I'm basically going down there with my head down, my mouth shut and basically just trying to learn to be a quarterback at that level."

So your keen football acumen says we should start everybody we recruit? That's how Sumlin tried to run his QBs last year and you see how that turned out. At Texas you must earn the spot. Kai hasn't done that. That doesn't make Strong a liar.
I think you missed the point. Kai Locksley was a receiver. He played receiver in high school, he played receiver in the Under Armour game, and his father is a receivers coach. At no point did any other college consider him a viable option at QB. When discussing the 2015 recruiting class many Aggies, being far more intelligent than Longhorns, pointed out that the Longhorns' biggest weakness was quarterback, and the 2015 class failed to address that in any way. Longhorn recruiting sites were having none of it, however, and were beating their ****s raw to the idea of 'stealing' him away from FSU.
Here is a link to BON rating your QB crop for that year a B despite not actually signing a scholarship QB.
Here is another article discussing the "dual threat QB." Fast forward 16 months and the dude is playing WR, just like we all knew he would, and Texas struggled through another season of aimless QB play.
