Former Texas quarterback Locksley commits to UTEP

Kai Locksley officially cimmitted to UTEP on Monday, Jan. 15.

Former Texas and Iowa Western quarterback Kai Locksley announced on his Twitter account that he has committed to play for UTEP next season.

For a UTEP football team that put up a nation-worst 11.8 points per game and a bottom-10 passing offense (134.9 passing yards per game) last season, the dual-threat quarterback will add much-needed offense for a team that lost a lot of the offense they did have, such as former quarterback Zach Greenlee, AP All-American offensive lineman Will Hernandez and running back Kevin Dove.

UTEP wasn’t the only school in the running for Locksley’s return to Division I football, the other schools that offered Locksley were New Mexico State and Marshall.
