Last season Brkic was one of three finalists for the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation's top college place-kicker. He led the country with five field goals of 50 yards or more, with a long of 56 yards. He was 57 of 69 overall (82.6%) on field goals in three full seasons with the Sooners and made 159 of 160 point-after attempts. He was an All-Big 12 second-team selection last season and a first-teamer in 2020.
The Vikings' rookie minicamp begins May 13.
In March, the Vikings re-signed kicker Greg Joseph, a restricted free agent, giving him a low-level tender worth $2.433 million. He made 33 of 38 field goals (86.8%) and 36 of 40 extra points (90%) in his first full-season NFL job. He made 21 consecutive kicks to end the season and finished with seven kicks from beyond 50 yards.
To return to the 90-player roster limit, the Vikings cut second-year defensive tackle Jordon Scott, an undrafted free agent last season.
Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
