Many students, faculty and administration at Cabrini College already know or have heard about the senior communication major and outside midfielder for the men’s soccer team, Brett Lockbaum, as a very open-minded, friendly and an outgoing sports fanatic who lives and breaths sports.
Lockbaum first started playing soccer when he was 4 or 5 years old and has played baseball, golf and basketball all throughout high school. Lockbaum is also the youngest of two and grew up in Penns Grove, N.J. with his family.
Aside from his love for the Philadelphia sports teams such as the Phillies, Flyers, Union and the Sixers, Lockbaum also enjoys playing golf and baseball. Currently, Lockbaum is a member for men’s golf team at Cabrini and has encouraged the baseball club to keep striving to make a Division III team, also adding that he would have joined if he had still been at Cabrini.
Fellow senior communication major, David Watson, describes Lockbaum as a very hard working player on and off the field.
“I had some classes with him freshman year when we were both education majors and he was always very nice and polite,” Watson said.
Lockbaum talked about eventually becoming a sports information director, for local colleges or high schools in the greater Philadelphia area.
Even though the Caviliers lost last week, Lockbaum feels confident that the team is starting to pick back up again after their home game held on Thursday, Oct. 17.
“I think this year’s soccer team is really good. I think we started off weak because we were playing really good teams and we just could not score but once we started scoring we started to win. We actually just went on a six game winning streak, but then we lost last weekend and we are starting to pick up after Thursday night,” Lockbaum said.
But when Lockbaum is not playing sports or hanging out with his friends, he likes to spend his free time listening to J. Cole and playing FIFA or Grand Theft Auto or watching Sports Center.
Lockbaum also talked about his mother who has been such a huge contributor to not only his success at Cabrini, but also in high school as well.
“I look up to my mom mostly because she just has always had herself together and knows what she is doing, she is really successful as a director for a welfare office,” Lockbaum said.
“I love the people here at Cabrini, everyone is so nice,” Lockbaum said. “One of the main reasons why I picked Cabrini is because it is so small and everyone knows each other.”
