Lampkin de-commits from UT, enrolls in class at OU
Former Texas commit Du Vonta Lampkin has enrolled at OU after being denied admission in Austin due to a foreign language requirement. Lampkin is the third addition to the 2015 recruiting class over the summer.
University officials have not commented on Lampkin, but Coach Bob Stoops may do so at a press conference on Monday. Lampkin announced his admission to OU on Twitter on Friday.
Lampkin was a three-star recruit from Cypress Falls, Texas and had offers from Baylor, TCU, LSU, Michigan and Notre Dame. He had 81 tackles — 38 for loss — as well as 18 sacks and eight forced fumbles as a high school senior.
Lampkin (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) was a long-time Sooners commit who eventually committed and then signed with Texas.
With just a little more than a month until the 2015 season begins at home against Akron, the Oklahoma football team debuted at No. 19 in the Amway Coaches Poll released Thursday. This marks the 16th consecutive year that OU has been ranked in the top 20 in the coaches’ annual preseason rankings.
