“I have decided to step away from being the General Manager at OU, effective immediately, with my last day being February 1st,” Lofton said in his post. “I am pursing ministry and striving for true greatness by creating impact for the Kingdom.
“I want to take this moment to thank Athletic Director Joe Castiglione, President Joe Harroz, and Head Coach Brent Venables for their unwavering support, leadership, and guidance. They’ve been instrumental in shaping my journey, and I am forever grateful for their influence in my life.”
Lofton, who starred at linebacker for the Sooners from 2005-2007, was announced as Oklahoma’s first General Manager on July 11.
Lofton assisted Venables “with an eye toward player evaluation and roster management”, per the original announcement, in a role that is new to college football programs and continues to evolvµe.
