PINE BLUFF, Arkansas -- Jontrell Lockett has started two games for Arkansas-Pine Bluff, and in each one he's heard similar things coming from the opposing offensive line as he got into his stance at defensive end.
"Fifty-three, you're too small. You're too small," Lockett said of the comments directed toward him from South Carolina State and Morehouse College players. "I'm like, 'Just play ball. Watch and see.'"
Lockett has gotten the last laugh in his first two starts in a career that began in 2011.

The 6-1, 295-pound senior had three sacks in a 29-27 overtime victory over Morehouse last week and one in a season-opening loss to South Carolina State. The senior from New Orleans also has forced 1 fumble and has 3 tackles for loss to go along with his 4 sackswhile bolstering one of UAPB's biggest points of emphasis.
UAPB ranked ninth in the Southwestern Athletic Conference last season with 20 total sacks, and Lockett's four sacks through two games this season would have ranked second for the Golden Lions for all of last season.
"We need that pass rush," Coach Monte Coleman said. "We need it bad."
