WR Ted Lampkin

[Ohio Pete]

rivals says he runs a 4.63.....

4.63 number was from the US Army National Combine at which he had the 3rd fastest 40. He also had vertical leap of 35" at the event which tied for top 10. A lot of the top athletes do not have 40s listed which likely means they ran and were disappointed with the slow track so they chose to not have the time reported.

It's nice to have that speed when there is no pads on, but it's pretty useless unless you apply it on the field in a game. Kid is fast, but he doesn't have elite HS speed either once he puts those pads on.

You couldn't label a certain slow down from player to player. Everyone plays different, speed wise, once they throw those pads on. Some guys will play as fast in a t-shirt as they will pads. Some will slow down. But there is no constant for either.

You can look at a guy like Braylon Heard. He was hand timed at 4.38 by the coaches at Cardinal Mooney. And when you watch his video, you see a guy who plays at an elite level speed wise and consistently pulls away from players when he sees a shred of daylight. But you have Lampkin, at the same speed, and against lesser athletes in Nebraska, doesn't consistently show that burst that makes you say "WOW!".

I'm actually more intrigued in-state by Davie and Sterup. If Sterup is a legit 6'9, he scares me that he might grow out of football. But Davie, IIRC, was the kid who was an unknown but shined at our summer camp last year.

Iowa State has thrown their hat in the ring.

Slot/Returner size and speed..can he catch???...

From what I saw while watching his film is that most of the time he catches the ball with his hands and not with his pads. For a short WR at 5'7 he out jumped two defenders to catch the ball for a TD. He'd be a perfect WR to do reverses with his speed which he has shown numerous times in his film.

 

[girlknowsfootball]

If that 4.38 speed is accurate... this kid could be a legitimate punt/kick returner.

 

[Herd Husker]

definately like that 4.38-4.4 speed as a slot receiver, like a curtis carter. we'll see if he gets an offer or not later down the road...

 

[HuskerEric]

KSU offered.

Nebraska and Stanford recently visited Lampkin earlier this week. Sounds like Stanford will offer Lampkin a scholarship when he attends Stanfords camp this June.

Lampkin has visited Iowa's junior days, Iowa States spring game, and K-States spring game.
