Locke, Derrick Kentucky 5082 188 4.40
Three-year starter. A compact and confident runner who lacks
size but runs between the tackles. A third down back with speed
and an upfield burst. Will drop his shoulder and run through a
corner at times. Explosive with quickness and agility in traffic.
Natural hands and acceleration to run after catch. A nifty footed
back with good vision and shake and bake moves. Dangerous in
space. Rushed for over 100 yards in five games and caught 100
yards in passes in another. Has some Dexter McCluster qualities.
Came to Kentucky as a track athlete and went out for football.
Was the AAA player of the year in Oklahoma. Will contribute
on special teams coverage. Had 15 tackles as a freshman and
sophomore. Averaged 26.3 yards per kickoff return in 2010.
