Locke became the second recruit to commit to Oregon on Tuesday after four-star dual-threat quarterback Travis Waller announced his choice to play for Mark Helfrich and the Ducks.
Out of Beaumont Central high school in Beaumont, Texas, Locke was ranked as the No. 34 overall safety in the 2015 recruiting class, according to ESPN.
Locke chose to commit to Oregon over Notre Dame, Baylor, ASU, and Michigan State.
According to Justin Hopkins of 247Sports, Oregon made a “huge impression” on Locke after he visited on June 10.
Locke became the 11th player and the second defensive back to verbally commit to Oregon in the 2015 recruiting class. Three-star cornerback Jihree Stewart committed to Oregon on June 12.
