Telly Lockette

[cpaguy]

Hi Folks-Just wondering if you all remember a former Bengal and now South Florida prep football coach, Telly Lockette?

Played at ISU in the early 90s, I had actually never heard of him until this week was listening to signing day coverage at the office and his name was brought up by Randy Shannon. Apparently, Randy did him a favor helping him get to ISU back 20+ years ago and it paid off(no pun intended!) this year with Arkansas getting some top Miami talent

I remember Telly when he was at ISU. Good kid, phenomenal athlete. The guy was fearless, a team leader, and left it on the field every Saturday.

Glad he's had success at Miami Central HS. Has won two of the last three 6A state titles (2012, 2010; lost finals in 2011)

Started out as a RB, then switched to LB. Played with metal plates in his head after a major off-season surgery. Tough guy -- he probably only weighed about 190 pounds, but he brought it.

Miami Central football coach Telly Lockette accepted the job Monday to become the University of South Florida’s new running backs coach.

Lockette, 37, who led Central to two state championships over the past three seasons, could not be reached for comment.

But Central alumni president D.C. Clark told The Miami Herald via email that Lockett accepted the job and informed his assistants and players Monday afternoon.
