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.
