During the offseason, you will see many players try to rebuild their body and get into the weight room to add muscle. We have seen many Miami Hurricanes players bulk up including Bryce Fitzgerald, OJ Frederique, Malachi Toney, Armando Blount, among many other players on the team. On the other hand, Hurricanes starting tight end Elija Lofton has been doing the opposite.

On yesterday's CanesInSight podcast, DMoney stated that Lofton has shed 10 pounds off his body and now weights 243 as he continues his diet.

"We have a little taste test thing we do for Ibis Media, where people eat desserts and all these different things. Everybody was slamming the desserts. Ethan O'Connor, Marquise Lightfoot, all these guys. Lofton said, no thank you, I'm on a diet. He's down to 243. I heard his readings on the miles per hour and all that stuff were all good," said DMoney.

Lofton has been named among many media outlets to breakout this season. This past season with the Hurricanes, he recorded 23 receptions for 218 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. The year prior, he totaled for nine receptions for 150 yards.

With Lofton dropping 10 pounds off of his body, it now makes him more of a receiving threat as he will move quicker with his acceleration and agility. This is good news for both Lofton and the Hurricanes.

Check out his sophomore highlights down below:

 

R. Rodriguez @ 6'4"

I've never seem Ryan Rodriguez listed at 6'4":

 

I think both he and Briggs have some serious potential and will be folded into the play calling this year .

Saw today @DMoney was saying Briggs could have serious role this yr... Which I find absolutely hilarious to believe.

Odds Briggs has more than like 6 catches this yr are what <5%? The next time Mario plays a <230lb TE will be the first time.

Mueller likely will play a bit though imo. Likely won't play as much as he should though ...

I know there were slight injuries in spring, but he got a lot of first team snaps in all the scrimmages. With a room that wide open, it’s very possible he has a role in this offense

It's not happening. What's the point of going with him over a WR? He's not gonna play much if at all <230lbs.

 

Fullback.

He’ll be playing this year lol. Also, he’s over 230 lbs btw

No wonder they put him on Zion Nelson meal plan and fast tracked him to throwing up forcing food down his throat.. sheesh

It would have happened regardless. People forget he’s 6’4, so this wasn’t that crazy

Of course, but packing on 40+ pounds in couple months is not ideal either, I know @JHallCanes is best in business and I dont know if his "chicken and rice" can do that

Still hilarious?

More out of necessity than anything else.. We dont got a choice but to trot out undersized 230 pound TE

 

We need Calinative to post in the stocks/crypto thread so I can short his picks.

his bio on the Rasslin' page begs to differ:

Looks eerily similar to his football page, save a few inches, hometown and high school. Where is his luchador mask? I assumed he would rassle under the name "El Picadillo," but maybe I was mistaken.

Chicken and Rice with Trenbolone sauce maybe

You already can

Briggs will not get a lot of PT except by injury, which idk I just saw something saying Gilbert is out for the yr so...

Idk what's hard to believe about him being TE4 at best entering the season. Now if guys get hurt thats not what I was talking about

Still about 40lbs too little.
