    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Mario’s 2022 Miami team threw it to the tight end twice as much as this year’s Oregon team. Are you saying it’s a Mario issue or a Dawson issue?

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    They won a Rose Bowl and finished Top 5 in the nation, bullying Wisconsin. I don't know what their "FP Plus" ranking was that year, but the team hit its ceiling.

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    What type of offense? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm trying to understand. I've heard Tennessee. We're scoring more than Tennessee this year. If the season ended today, this would be our highest-scoring offense and our highest-ranked scoring offense (23rd) since Dorsey, despite a...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    You guys are saying buzz words like "wide open" and "diverse running game" without doing any analysis. That's simplistic. Here are the specifics in this thread: @mossmadness said that he was disappointed that we recruited a player like Lofton because it was indicative of a "box type of...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Is that supposed to be a lot? Miami had 754 receiving yards and 5 TDs from tight ends last year in a prehistoric offense. The argument shifts from "we need more 4 wides like Oregon" to "we should throw it a little more to our TEs." I guarantee you we would've hit that low bar of 283 receiving...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    They just did it. We have a Top 5 OL, currently. And they built top OLs consistently at Oregon. The track record at OL is extensive and it has already translated to Miami. That includes recruiting and Portal additions. You say that Oregon is "wide open" compared to our Dawson spread attack...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    The teams that have won championships for the past two decades play this way. Georgia is the latest. In the past, the argument was that Miami would never recruit OL well enough to play that style and should instead lean into its natural base of WR talent. That was a strong argument. But now we...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Will Mallory couldn’t block a lick and he was our top receiver last year. I think this year’s TE production is a combination of Arroyo’s injury, Williams’s youth and McCormick (who is not a receiver) being so effective as a blocker. Somebody like Lofton is going to find a role because he can...

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Lofton is one of the best pure football players in the nation. And while he lacks the height of a traditional TE, he is a 235-pound workout warrior who packs a punch.

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Lofton scored 5 TDs against Chaminade (FL) last year. Four as a runner. 2:06 4:47 5:17 6:36 7:33

    Bishop Gorman Star Tight End Elija Lofton Commits to Miami Hurricanes

    Interesting tidbit from the commitment interview: after Gorman lost to Mater Dei (the #2 team in the nation), Lofton was in tears on the field. This was a game he dominated and made all kinds of hustle plays, including the first play on his HL reel. We need more elite competitors.
