Mike Lofton is USF’s ironman anchor up front
In the 2024 season, Mike Lofton played in all 13 games and started the first six at center for South Florida, helping power a run game that produced 2,343 rushing yards, 190.6 per game, and 34 rushing touchdowns. He’s the kind of lineman coaches love: versatile, battle-tested, and relentless, with a reputation as a gritty leader who rarely leaves the field. His biggest differentiator is durability and consistency, not highlight-reel flash — he’s a high-floor veteran who stabilizes the interior and fits best with a physical, tempo-driven offense.
