Justin Lockhart

There is, and this is a rare occurrence in college football history, excitement about the San Jose State passing game. Mostly, that's due to Chevan Cordeiro. The Hawaii transfer excelled in his first season with the Spartans, and some think he will end up as the top quarterback in the Mountain West. Where there is a major question, though, is who his top receiver will be in 2023. Lockhart is the preseason favorite, but it is tentative. Having transferred from Nevada as part of that exodus, Lockhart had 578 yards with San Jose State last season, but only with one touchdown. That's a concern, but touchdown hog Elijah Cooks (10 last season) graduated, and Lockhart has the size (6-foot-3) to be the primary red-zone threat in 2023.
