So....
This time of year we always keep our ears to the ground expecting the unexpected. Well, we regret to inform you that the unexpected has happened.
The last couple of days we have heard that someone unexpected was going to declare for the NFL draft. After checking with sources inside the OU program we now know this is a legitimate situation.
We expected Orlando Brown and Mark Andrews to leave early for the NFL. We wondered if Rodney Anderson might not be someone who looked into it. But it turns out, he hasn't.
But we can now confirm that defensive tackle Du'Vonta Lampkin has informed the OU coaches that he intends to leave Oklahoma early and declare for the NFL draft.
We were told that a lot of people around the OU program had reached out to Lampkin to attempt to dissuade him from making this decision. But as of today, we were told that he has made the decision to forego the rest of his college eligibility and declare for the NFL Draft.
We're told that this decision has been finalized by Lampkin and he will not be returning to OU.
Obviously people inside the program are not behind this decision, but Lampkin has decided this is the best course of action for his career.
