NCAA grants Lockett a sixth season
The phone call Ole Miss senior defensive end Kentrell Lockett had been waiting months to receive finally came Thursday afternoon. After losing out on his senior season by tearing his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the third game last season, Lockett was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA on Thursday to the delight of the Hahnville, La., native and head football coach Houston Nutt.
