On the Hoof: Loften is a sawed-off safety with a compact, muscular frame. He should easily bulk up into a stout, toned safety at the college level with limited height.
Needs improvement: Loften needs to temper his aggression at times and commit himself to pass coverage. He is a capable center fielder but must prove he can run with slot receivers and tight ends in man coverage.
Most impressive: Loften is a springy, explosive athlete - a huge striker who brings major pop at the point of attack. His size allows him to play with great leverage and tackle well, especially in space. Despite his limited size, Loften will be a major factor in the run game and inside the tackle box.
Conclusion: Because of his athleticism and physical mentality, Loften can be an immediate contributor on special teams. If he proves that he can be a factor in coverage, Loften has the ability to be a major impact player because of his playmaking ability in the run game.
