The Winnipeg Blue Bombers signed former Temple offensive lineman Eric Lofton on Monday according to 3DownNation’s John Hodge.
Eric Lofton, a 29-year-old from Lumberton, New Jersey, last played in 2019 for the Edmonton Elks. He was under contract with the Eskimos in 2020, but the season was canceled. Lofton played four games in two seasons (2017-18) with the Ottawa Redblacks. He signed with the BC Lions in 2019 but was released, leading him to sign with the Eskimos.
Lofton played 39 games in four seasons (2012-15) at Temple University. In 2015, he was named All-Conference First Team by the AAC.
The Owls went 10-4 that season, winning the AAC East Division. However, they would lose the AAC title game to the Houston Cougars 24-13.
The Owls would play in the Boca Raton Bowl against Toledo but lost 32-17. Temple’s offense averaged 29.79 points per game, 366.7 yards per game, 5,134 yards, and 49 touchdowns.
