2005 Update: Wes Lokey

Harrisonburg High School (VA) defensive line/offensive line prospect Wes Lokey was one of the key components for Head Coach Tim Sarver last season. Lokey was a first-team All-Valley District performer as a junior at defensive tackle, helping Harrisonburg to a 9-1 regular season record and a berth in the Division II, Region 4 playoffs.

“Wes is a solid kid,” Sarver said. β€œHe has the size and the physical tools to do the job. He’s a legitimate 6-4…he’s probably a little over that now. He weighs anywhere from 270 to 275 pounds, and he has the frame to put on a lot more weight. He’s a good, aggressive kid with great feet. He helped us a lot last year with a really solid year.”

Virginia Tech, Maryland, West Virginia, Oregon, and Auburn are among the schools showing the most serious interest up to this point, with Virginia, Tennessee, Ohio State, and Penn State sending information as well.

Though he currently holds no offers, Coach Sarver believes Lokey will be a legitimate Division I-A prospect because of his size, strength, and solid speed. Lokey can bench press 320 pounds, squats over 400 pounds, and he has run a 5.2 in the 40 yard dash.
