He spent his senior year at Oral Roberts, and posted a .349 average, hitting 10 home runs and driving in 54. He walked more than he struck out and swiped 25 bases. After being selected by the Astros in 2022, he spent three minor league seasons with them. Loftin played almost every position, making appearances at first base, second base, shortstop, third base, and all outfield positions. In 2023, Loftin stole 60 bases in Single-A Fayetteville, while also being called up to Triple-A Sugar Land for the first time that season. In his limited stint in Triple-A, he went (5-13) with three doubles and two RBI’s. In 2024, he again found himself in Triple-A Sugar Land, before returning to High-A Asheville. In High-A, he stole 20 more bases while being caught only twice. In his three minor league seasons at third base, he did not commit an error in 246.2 innings. When playing second base, he had a fielding percentage of .979 in three seasons. After the Astros, Loftin made his way to the Staten Island FerryHawks. He played in 27 games, slashing .239 with two home runs and 12 RBIs in just over 100 at bats. His speed showed again with 11 stolen bases.
