A Season to Remember

This season, I was selected as a Unanimous 1st Team All-Conference Offense 4-A League 1 North for our back-to-back undefeated 4-A North League Champion Monarch HS Coyotes in Louisville, CO. I also achieved Academic All-State Honorable Mention.

I am a 2025 two-way starter, averaging 70 total snaps per game at H/Slot/DB. I averaged 13 yards per reception, totaling 219 yards with 2 receiving touchdowns. Additionally, I rushed for 420 yards at an impressive 15 yards per carry, scoring six rushing touchdowns as a H/Slot. On defense, I accumulated 33 tackles, 6 pass breakups, 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, and 2 tackles for loss.

This was my first season at the H/Slot position in our spread offense. I aimed to leverage my elite speed, acceleration, and unselfish blocking, resulting in 21 knockdown blocks in the run/pass game.

Track and Field Achievements

I ran a 10.88 in the 100m this past year (2024) as a sophomore, just missing the automatic state qualifying time of 10.87. However, I was honored to earn a spot on the All-State Second Team in Colorado. Our 4 x 100 relay team set a school record of 41.92 and qualified for the Class 5-A relay.

Community Commitment

Beyond football, I have a strong commitment to community service. I volunteer with the Special Olympics and actively participate in my church youth group. Academically, I maintain a 3.8 GPA while taking two honors classes.

A Legacy of Excellence

I am fortunate to come from a family with a rich football legacy. My dad, Scott Lockwood, was a multi-selection 1st team High School All-American running back who set Colorado's all-time rushing record in 1987. He holds the Fairview HS (Boulder) 100m record at 10.54. He earned All-Pac-10 honors as a running back and kick returner at USC and played four seasons in the NFL after being drafted by the New England Patriots in 1992.

“Abbott is a standout athlete whose speed and natural football IQ immediately separate him from his peers. He processes the game quickly, anticipates plays with maturity beyond his age, and consistently puts himself in position to succeed. Just as impressive as his athletic ability is the kind of kid he is.

Abbott is humble, hardworking, and coachable. He responds to feedback with enthusiasm, shows up every day ready to improve, and elevates everyone around him with his attitude and team-first mindset. Any program would be fortunate to have an athlete and teammate of his character.”
