Mississippi DE Kentrell Lockett tears ACL in left knee, will miss remainder of season
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Mississippi coach Houston Nutt says defensive end Kentrell Lockett will miss the rest of the season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Saturday's 55-38 victory over Fresno State.
In three games, Lockett made six tackles, including one for a loss. He had 10 tackles for a loss and five sacks in 2009.
Nutt says Lockett's loss was tough physically and emotionally. The 6-foot-5, 260-pound senior from Hahnville, La., is one of five team captains.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Sophomores Jason Jones and Gerald Rivers, along with freshmen Delvin Jones and Cameron Whigham, are the main candidates to fill Lockett's role.
Mississippi (2-2, 0-1 Southeastern Conference) will host Kentucky (3-1, 0-1 SEC) on Saturday.
