Duâ€™Vonta Lampkin has emerged as legit option for Oklahoma State.

Longhorns defensive tackle signee Du’Vonta Lampkin has no intention of attending the University of Texas and is currently awaiting an appeal from the NCAA to be released from his scholarship, Lampkin told Horns247 on Tuesday.

Lampkin, who submitted his appeal to the NCAA on Monday, said Texas will have five to 10 days to enter its own appeal in the case.

“I put in my appeal,” Lampkin said. After UT puts their argument in, the NCAA is the one that’s going to decide if I’m going to get released or not.”

The University could not be reached immediately for comment for this story.

Lampkin signed his National Letter of Intent with the Longhorns on Feb. 4, but said he would not attend Texas in a May 30 tweet. His academic status with UT originally involved a missing credit for Spanish 2. Lampkin said he’s attempted to take the class, a core requirement for acceptance into UT, multiple times but he can no longer take the course.

“There is no way I could do Spanish 2,” Lampkin said. “I tried and there’s no way. The (Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District) won’t let me, I can’t do it.”

Lampkin has asked Texas for his release, but it has yet to be granted by the University. The Cypress Falls High School graduate did speak with head coach Charlie Strong about his decision not to enroll in the school because of the Spanish credit, but said he can’t remember the details of the conversation.

A three-star defensive tackle, Lampkin still hopes to play at a Division I school next season, but he would need a discharge from his letter of intent to do so.

“I really can’t even get into the school no more,” Lampkin said. “So like, if I can’t get into the school, what’s the point of them hanging on to me?”

Lampkin, Texas’ sole defensive tackle signee in the 2015 recruiting class, said he’s not aware of the Longhorns’ reasoning for for failing to release him from his letter of intent. If his appeal is granted, Lampkin would be immediately available to transfer to another school with eligibility for next season.

Oklahoma, where he was once committed, and Alabama are two schools that would have a good opportunity to land him.

“Those are schools that have been suggested, but I haven’t said ‘Oh, I’m going to go to OU’ or ‘Oh, I’m going to go to Alabama,’” Lampkin said. “Those are just suggestions. I haven’t put schools at No. 1 or No. 2.”

Lampkin has consulted with his parents throughout this process, and he plans to play somewhere other than Austin next season. Though when asked, Lampkin could only say ‘I hope so’ about being on a Division I college campus for the 2015-16 academic calendar year.

“I’m just going through the process of getting my appeal, getting my release and moving on with my college life,” Lampkin said.
