I don't believe they ever looked at him as a potential TE1 or TE2. I think the staff sees him as a tough football savvy utility player who can fill a role at H-Back and give you different things depending on the game plan, formation etc. In Golden speak, think of Lofton as a highly functional/well rounded coal shoveler who also keeps the Bishop Gorman pipeline open.
Ok. So you made your mind up on a kid, based on what some others on this board have said? Got it. I understand. We’re all in some ways, going on somebody else’s opinion. But I’m looking at film (albeit in most cases…highlights), apparent speed, hands, kinda competition he facing, and which school(s) have offered him a scholarship before I determine whether or not i like a recruit. And I will add, that some kids you can’t put in a box, based on measurements. Some kids are “boy dogs” and will become problems for the opps, no matter where they line up at. Just have to trust the guys that make these decisions for us, on which kids to offer.
This could very well be the plan… but regardless, I like the offer.

Cribby come on mane you need a better avatar than that generic C.
It’s probably the same ppl who said njoku brother evidence would be a good tight-end. Because he was 6’5 or 6’6 lol.
Generic C was my rap name back in ‘91
Gaby, " I can see him picking Miami or not........maybe, but ill get back to you on that ".
Dropped.
After Fong and Angulo did
Nothing about his Film, production, or measurables exhibits a “physically limited or tough” near the LOS college player. In fact it screams the opposite. Does he lack the ideal height to be an early round NFL draft pick? Yes…. But his measurables entering his Sr year of HS are fine. Lofton is an alpha male football player as his film indicates, and the last I checked Miami’s roster can still use a few more Alpha males! If Miami was taking only 1 TE then I can see passing on Lofton at this point in the cycle. But he’s a take all day in a 2-3 TE class.
