Lofton, an All-American linebacker for the Sooners in 2007 and a member of Brent Venables’ SOUL Mission staff the last two-plus years, is expected to be formally approved as Venables’ new GM during two days of actions taken by the OU regents.
“I think we'd be naive if we didn't look at the change that's going on in college football, both currently and the landscape,” he said. “The toothpaste is definitely out of the tube, and … you're not putting it back in. So we are always looking at all of our processes, our programs, our support systems on how we can continue to improve and be efficient, be really good at what we're doing.
Lofton grew up in Oklahoma a high school star at nearby Kingfisher, and famously wanted to attend Oklahoma State and play for the Cowboys. But then-coach Les Miles didn’t answer Lofton’s call, and Venables — then OU’s linebacker coach and defensive coordinator — phoned Lofton at just the right time.
