HawgBeat – 2026 Arkansas DB commit Tay Lockett gets initial rating from Rivals
St. John Bosco defensive back and Arkansas commit Tay Lockett received his initial rating from Rivals on Friday.
Lockett was rated a 5.8 four-star recruit. He told HawgBeat he’s grateful his hard work is being noticed.
“It is a blessing,” Lockett said. “Obviously wanted to be ranked when it first came out but it is truly a blessing to know my work I put in is not going unnoticed.”
The Bellflower, California, native chose the Razorbacks on Aug. 24 over offers from Georgia, Florida State, Oregon and others.
He said when he committed he likes what head coach Sam Pittman is building at Arkansas.
“I just feel like what Coach Pittman is building out there, the way that he’s running the program, they’re going to be a national powerhouse,” Lockett said.
It’s worth noting Lockett has multiple family ties to the state of Arkansas. He has family in Cabot, Little Rock and Conway. His parents moved to Southern California from Arkansas when he was young.
So far this season, Lockett has intercepted four passes, deflected one pass and recorded 22 total tackles.
The national rankings are largely insignificant right now, as most schools don’t have any commits in the class of 2026, but Arkansas currently ranks No. 9 with Lockett and Cartersville, Georgia, offensive lineman Bear McWhorter, who has yet to receive a ranking from Rivals.

Homicide suspect causes barricade situation in east Arkansas jail
PHILLIPS COUNTY, Ark. — A suspect in a Helena-West Helena homicide caused a barricade situation Tuesday as he was being processed in the Phillips County Detention Center.
Authorities said a prisoner who was being processed at the jail was able to get hold of some type of instrument and cause harm to himself.
He barricaded himself in the processing area and pepper spray was used to subdue him.
The prisoner was taken to the local emergency room for treatment. No one else was injured.
Helena-West Helena Police Chief Vincent Bell said he doesn’t know much more about what happened at the jail, but said the inmate is connected to a fatal shooting Tuesday afternoon.
The suspect was being held in connection to an incident where a man was shot dead in the doorway of O’Reilly Auto Parts in West Helena.
The shooting was the result of a disagreement that started in front of a motel, and the victim ran to the front of O’Reilly’s where he was fatally shot.
Chief Bell offered no details on a motive or the name of the victim.
