WVU head coach Neal Brown has had to rebuild his program after numerous players have entered their names into the transfer portal. Most recently the team lost DL Akheem Mesidor to the transfer portal, where Mesidor ended up committing to Miami (FL). Lockhart will join a core of Taijh Alston, Jalen Thorton, Dante Stills and Jordan Jefferson, amongst other talented lineman on the roster.
