Alabama '23 TN TE - Ty Lockwood (Alabama Verbal)

I see a lot of Jeremy Ruckert in new Ohio State tight end commit Ty Lockwood, who is a pass catcher first and foremost but has the size and determination to be an elite blocker: https://t.co/AdHEwTb32a

TY LOCKWOOD, TIGHT END
Unsurprisingly, Ohio State reached out to its lone commit of the 2023 cycle right away on Wednesday morning:

It’s hard to imagine the Thompson’s Station, Tennessee resident didn’t also have a text message from OSU offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Kevin Wilson in his inbox at midnight.

Lockwood is firmly committed to the Buckeyes, and OSU offensive line target Luke Montgomery said last month that Lockwood and his father are already trying to convince him to join Ohio State. Pretty good guy to have in the fold early.

 

Thompson’s Station (Tenn.) Independence defeated Franklin (Tenn.) Centennial 35-0. Tight end Ty Lockwood, playing just more than a half, caught three passes for 38 yards and had five ‘pancake’ blocks.

At this point, we realize that Ohio State fans are always going to want to see more from the tight end position, our resident football coach @calebhouser9 says that 2023 commit Ty Lockwood looks like the perfect TE to build upon the Ruckert era!https://t.co/rw0h82qBy5

Ohio State's lone 2023 commit is back in Columbus on Saturday for the Penn State game. He'll probably do some recruiting of his own to give himself some company in that class as well. https://t.co/NIMKHQfigR

Thompson’s Station (Tenn.) Independence lost to Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood 20-10. Class of 2023 tight end Ty Lockwood had another big game with eight receptions for 70 yards.

2023 Independence HS (TN) TE Ty Lockwood (@TyLockwood7).

Lockwood is a nasty player that’s tough to bring down, has soft hands & is a willing blocker (at H-Back).

Lockwood is firmly committed to Ohio St. https://t.co/sCd7hrBlFr pic.twitter.com/CplEKAt3Xp

.@TyLockwood7 will be the first to tell you that last season was frustrating.

Now with a new QB in @CodyPagach slinging the ball to him & a new coach in @ScottStidham, the @OhioStateFB commitment is looking for a bounce back season with @wcsIHSfootball.https://t.co/fqdwJDqaSL
