His #5 jersey to be retired January 14th at home game against Kentucky.
431 3pointers made SEC record that still stands. AP All-America honors during his sophomore, junior and senior seasons and was named the 2007 SEC Player of the Year. 4th most points in program history. 2ed best 3point percentage in program history. Record for most made 3s in a game (9) record still stands. ..and the top two single-season totals for 3-point makes (118 in 2007-08 and 114 in 2005-06).
Despite undergoing cancer treatments between his junior and senior years, Lofton authored a senior campaign that earned him a spot on the 2008 Wooden All-America Team. During his final season on Rocky Top—which saw Tennessee ascend to a No. 1
Lofton wanted to be a wildcat, and has said so publicly the cats didn't offer the three star so he dropped 31 on them in a win to set his career high.
Also famous for hitting a clutch 3 in Kevin Durant's face coached by Rick Barnes at the time to beat Texas.
His jersey will hang up with Bernard King, Ernie Grunfeld, Allan Houston and Dale Ellis.
