The Gophers offered Lampkins a scholarship on Thursday afternoon and he announced that he had scheduled his official visit only a few moments later. Listed at 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, his only other scholarship offers are from Toledo, Bowling Green and Sacremento State.
Last season as a junior at Boilingbrook High School, he recorded 51 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, three pass breakups and one interception. He battled a few injuries throughout the year, but he'll now look to climb up recruiting boards with a big senior campaign.
Minnesota has a commitment from talented four-star cornerback Justin Hopkins, but Lampkins joins Darion Jones as only the second 2026 corner to announce his official visit with the Gophers.
