Kaliq Lockett, a five-star wide receiver in the Class of 2025, announced Wednesday he'll play at home-state Texas.

The 247 Sports composite ranks Lockett as the nation's No. 5 wide receiver and the No. 20 overall prospect. He's entering his senior season at Sachse High School.

In his junior season, he caught 59 passes for 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns in 11 games.

This summer, Lockett also took official visits to LSU, Texas A&M, Florida State and Alabama.

"It really came down to putting on for my home state and belief in what Coach Sark (Steve Sarkisian) and Coach (wide receivers coach Chris) Jackson have in store for me," Lockett told 247Sports of his commitment. "I'm going to have to do all the work. But I know if I do the work, if I compete, buy in, learn the playbook, get good grades and stay out of trouble, I know I'll see the field freshman year and I know I'll be successful."
