Yep, yet another early defection.
In a day that’s been chock full of them, Du’Vonta Lampkin became the latest to declare, with the Oklahoma defensive lineman surprising many by announcing that he’s leaving the Sooners for the NFL draft. Lampkin is the third OU player to declare, joining tight end Mark Andrews (HERE) and offensive tackle Orlando Brown (HERE).
The difference when it comes to Lampkin is that the lineman is a redshirt sophomore and has two years of eligibility remaining.

Lampkin originally signed with Texas in 2015 but, unhappy with how UT’s line coach left for Florida, didn’t enroll at the school and moved on to OU in August of that year. After redshirting as a true freshman, Lampkin was suspended for the first six games of the 2016 season.
In 2017, he started two of the 12 games in which he played. He would’ve played in all 13 games but was suspended for the Longhorns’ opener for violating unspecified team rules.
