He began play for the Stanford Cardinal football team in 2002 as a true freshman quarterback and did not play. In the spring of 2003, he converted to the wide receiver position but saw limited playing time though he did catch two balls for 10 yards in the season finale.
In 2004, he changed positions again, this time to the safety position, where he saw time as a reserve free safety and special teams player.
Lofton played in all 11 games of the 2005 Cardinals season including five weeks as the starting free safety, finishing the year with 35 total tackles and one tackle-for-loss. He started six games and played the first seven of the 2006 season before suffering a season-ending injury that caused him to miss the final five games.
