Kansas State senior receiver and kick returner Tyler Lockett is continuing to see postseason accolades roll in as he prepares for his final game in a Wildcat uniform.

Most recently, Lockett was named as a Walter Camp All-American for the second time in his career – the first coming in 2011.

He earned second-team honors as both a receiver and returner and is only the third player to be names a Walter Camp All-American at two positions in the same year.

Lockett has averaged 170.6 all-purpose yards per game to rank fourth nationally and lead the Big 12 by nearly 20 yards per game.

He currently holds K-State career records for receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and 100-yard receiving games.

Lockett was also named to the coaches and Associated Press All-Big 12 team, along with 13 teammates.

The first-team All-Big 12 performer is the sixth player in Big 12 history to repeat as the conference’s player of the year on either offense, defense or special teams and the second in league history to earn two special teams accolades.

Lockett was also recently named as the Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

He accumulated a 3.24 cumulative GPA in business management and a 3.43 GPA during the 2013-14 academic year.

His final game with No. 11 K-State will take on Friday, January 2, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas against No. 14 UCLA in the 2015 Valero Alamo Bowl. The game kicks off at 5:45 p.m. will be televised nationally by ESPN.
