Won't play in title game
Lofton (lower body) is listed as out for Monday's National Championship game against Indiana.

Questionable for title game
Lofton (lower body) is questionable for Miami's cash with Indiana in the National Championship game on Monday, Jan. 19, per Adam Lichtenstein of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Impact
Lofton was carted to the locker room during Miami's win over Ole Miss in the semifinals of the College Football Playoff at the Fiesta Bowl. That limited him to one catch for 15 yards against the Rebels, but the tight end has been a minor part of this passing game all year, reeling in 23 catches for 218 yards and three touchdowns this fall. His status remains in question for next Monday.

Carted back to locker room
Lofton suffered an apparent lower body injury in the first quarter and was carted back to the locker room, Adam Kunin of Cronkite News reports.
Impact
Lofton's time in the game was unfortunately short-lived after suffering what seems to be a serious injury. It's unlikely he'll play again this season if Miami were able to advance to the championship.

Set for expanded role
Lofton is expected to see a larger role for the 2025 season, David Lake of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact
Lofton has seen his role vary during the spring as he has been lining up as a tight but also as running back in the backfield, indicating he should be getting the ball in his hands in different ways. The second-year tight end reeled in just nine passes for 150 yards and one touchdown during his freshman campaign.
