Plays usually didn’t end well for quarterbacks when they tried to test Cam Lockridge.
The Fresno State senior was one of the best defensive backs in the Mountain West over the past few seasons. He spent one year at Reedley Junior College and another at Hawaii prior to transferring to Fresno State.
Lockridge’s full potential was showcased in 2022, which is when he last played an entire season. He helped Fresno State win the MW championship and led the league in interceptions. He missed most of the 2023 season because of a torn pectoral muscle and missed the final four games of last season because of a personal matter. I think Lockridge’s draft stock would be higher if he had more games under his belt.

Cam Lockridge’s Stats & Highlights
In the aforementioned 2022 campaign, Lockridge led the Mountain West with five interceptions and nine pass breakups while adding 38 total tackles. The interceptions were 11th most in the country. He was named the defensive MVP in the MW Championship game following the Bulldogs’ 28-16 victory over Boise State. Lockridge had two picks in that contest.
He was named first-team All-MW following his shortened, nine-game 2024 season, finishing with 39 total tackles while his five picks were tied for most in the league and his seven PBUs ranked 10th. His interception total was tied for fourth-most in the FBS.
Lockridge arguably had his best game of 2024 in the season-opener against Michigan, where he had six total tackles, an interception, and a pass breakup.
Cam Lockridge’s NFL Draft Profile
Lockridge does a good job of keeping action in front of him and reading a QBs eyes, anticipating the throw, and putting himself in position to make a play on the ball. Because of this, however, he’ll occasionally get caught looking in the backfield a little too long which could allow a wideout to get behind him.
The Tampa, Florida, native is a ball hawk and his numbers back that up. He doesn’t just break up passes, but he’s often in position to create a turnover. Lockridge primarily played on the boundary in college but also lined up at safety while at Hawaii, meaning he has some versatility.
He doesn’t struggle to cover bigger receivers and has experience playing against some elite former MW wideouts, including a few who will likely be drafted this year in Jalen Royals, Tory Horton, and Ricky White III. Nick Nash can also be included in that category.
I think Lockridge’s best situation would be in a zone scheme. He has the potential to make a name for himself during an organization’s minicamp, especially if he adds some weight. He isn’t the biggest or most athletic DB, so he could lean on his grittiness to turn heads.
It’ll be a tall task for him to make a 53-man roster, but I don’t think it should come as a surprise if he does.
