Locey attended Corvallis High School in his hometown of Corvallis, Oregon from 1969 to 1973. As a sophomore, he earned a spot on the varsity football team. The starting quarterback on that team was senior Mike Riley. That season the Spartans went 11–1, losing to North Salem in their homecoming game, and won the state championship, avenging their loss in the 1969 championship the year before. Locey was a reserve linebacker and played special teams that season.
Upon graduating from Corvallis High, he accepted a scholarship to play football at Oregon State. He started one game as a defensive back for the Beavers his sophomore season. His junior year he became a starter and earned second team All Pacific-8 Conference. At the conclusion of his senior season, he was named first team All Pacific-8 Conference.
Locey was honored twice as OSU's top student-athlete and received the outstanding senior award his senior year.
Locey began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Oregon State in 1977. After one season as a GA, he was hired at Lakeridge High School by coach Tom Smythe. He was the secondary coach for four seasons at Lakeridge. In 1982, he returned to Corvallis to coach at his alma mater, Corvallis High School, under head coach Gary Beck.
After one season with the Spartans, he returned to the college ranks in 1983 when he was hired by Ad Rutschman at Linfield College as the defensive coordinator, replacing Mike Riley who had left to coach in the Canadian Football League (CFL).
