The 5-11, 190-pounder was initially a three-star in the 2021 recruiting class. The Dallas-area native stuck with VT through the coaching change at the end of his freshman year - though the current staff does not have the same breadth of connections to the Lone Star State that the previous group did.

He caught 35 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns over the course of his three seasons in Blacksburg - with a chance to add even more production in the Hokies' Military Bowl matchup with Tulane. He also returned two kicks for 35 yards this Fall.

Lofton's inconsistency has hampered his ability to play a larger role in the offense, and with the arrival of Middle Tennessee State transfer Jaylin Lane this Fall, Lofton's role was further reduced.
