While his professional profile lists him as a member of the 1983-84 national championship team, Tyrone Lockhart joined the team the following season as a walk-on. Lockhart saw action in 15 games, the most of any walk-on in the John Thompson era to that date.

Following graduation, Lockhart was an assistant coach at Texas A&I while earning his MBA, and later worked with the U.S. Olympic Committee, George Washington University, the Atlantic Sun Conference, and the NCAA.
