Tyler brings a well balanced skill set to the Marian Catholic backfield. His 6′ 210 lbs frame is well built to handle a large workload and physical play style. Tyler has no problem ripping through arm tackles and piling up the yards after contact. The junior doesn’t just win with violence, though. Lofton also is blessed with next level lateral agility that makes him a nightmare in tight quarters. The junior RB has shown that he can beat a defense with power or agility.

Lofton, who measures in at 5’10, 200 lbs, is a bruising and speedy back who rarely goes down on first contact. He possesses elite speed that makes him a homerun threat every time he touches the ball. Additionally, Lofton has tremendous vision and smoothly weaves in and out of cuts. This do-it-all back  is a rising star in the state of Illinois. Keep an eye out for Lofton next season in his senior campaign.

Coming in at RB2 in the Class of 2025 is the 6′ and now 215 lbs junior. Tyler is a patient runner with great natural instincts for the position. He sees the field very well, and identifies escape routes in tight quarters. Lofton is a very smooth athlete too. You don’t see a lot of choppy movement. He heads for his landmark, finds the hole, sticks his foot in the ground, and then uses his superior speed to create the big plays. Tyler does have some wiggle and elusiveness for the one on one situations in space against DBs, but he saves it for those situations. Lofton finished with 1,300+ yards in 2022. The encore should be even better. Get ready for a big year.

Lofton is a big back from Chicago Heights who lit it up in his sophomore season. Lofton stands at 6’0, weighs 213, and runs a 4.51 40 yard dash. He accounted for 17 touchdowns and over 1,300 yards for Marion Catholic last year. Lofton is a power back who is willing to bulldoze any one who gets in his way. Don’t be mistaken by his size, however, as Lofton can hit the corner and break out a long run as good as any back in the state. This rare combination of size, speed, and shiftiness is what makes Lofton an elite prospect. He can make plays in a variety of ways. Heading into his junior campaign, look for Lofton to make even more plays and build off his success from last season.

One of an exciting chunk of electric RBs with a diverse skillset and playstyle in the Land of Lincoln 2025 class, Marian Catholic 6′, 210 lber. Tyler Lofton Tyler Lofton Tyler Lofton 6'0" | 210 lbs | RB Marian Catholic | 2025 State IL checks in as the #23 overall and #2 ranked RB amongst his peers and is still waiting for that elusive first college football offer, though I don’t think he’ll have to wait long. His sophomore season saw him post 146 carries for 1,319 yards and 17 TDs (9.0 YPC average) for some solid production as an underclassman ball carrier and earned ESCC Purple Offensive POY honors for his efforts. Lofton can move for a 210+ lber., and can run by or run through tacklers with ease. His sophomore tape displays top-end speed, vision, burst through the first & second levels of the defense & a final gear to burn DB pursuit angles, contact balance, and some powerful and effective cuts to leave defenders grasping at air or to set up & take advantage of holes in the defense. If he can continue to work on finishing some of his big runs and adding to his speed game, which is already far from lacking, he’ll be swimming in offers in no time. It’s an especially fun crop of 2025 RBs in Illinois and Lofton is an exciting one, to say the least.
