If Elija Lofton is the “best” player on offense then get him the damn ball

The Miami Hurricanes coaching staff has called Elija Lofton the best player on the Greentree Practice Field for two years now. Lofton, a former four-star tight end out of Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, was worked into the lineup in all 13 games in 2024 between offensive and special teams reps.

Lofton is a 6-foot-2, 240 pound spark plug that screams former Tennessee Titans H-Back Frank Wycheck more than TE’s like Antonio Gates or Greg Olsen. As a true freshman, Lofton caught nine balls for 150 yards and a touchdown.
