As we gear up for the 2025 football season, Aggies Wire is breaking down every player on the Texas A&M roster. Throughout the preseason, each profile will highlight a player’s background, recruiting rankings out of high school, and projected role under head coach Mike Elko.
Jordan Lockhart was one of two linebackers taken in the 2024 class and saw minimal action while playing behind Taurean York, Scooby Williams, and Daymion Sanford. The position, outside of York, could see multiple changes due to the amount of talent available. With Coach Elko playing a more active role in the defense, the best players will take the field regardless of seniority.
Defense will be the key to a successful season, especially stopping the run. The Aggie linebackers will be a pivotal part of keeping offenses in long-yardage situations and preventing teams from running out the clock late in games. Lockhart will need to work to earn regular playing time, but he is more than capable.
Preseason Player Profile
Recruiting Rankings (Class of 2024)
The former four-star prospect, Lockhart, was a tackling machine in high school, racking up 149 tackles and 10 sacks. His performance earned him a selection to the 2024 Polynesian Bowl following his senior year. During his freshman season, he appeared in ten games and recorded 11 total tackles.
Depth Chart Outlook
Lockhart has demonstrated a nose for the ball, highlighted during the 2025 spring game when he snagged an interception. While Taurean York and Scooby Williams appear to be the current starting linebackers, Lockhart has proven he can make plays. He should be among the first off the bench and contribute on special teams.
