Oklahoma football general manager Curtis Lofton officially stepped down on Thursday, making his announcement on Facebook.
After being named OU’s general manager in June, Lofton leaves his position after less than a year, with Feb. 1 being his last day. In his Facebook post, Lofton stated that he plans to pursue ministry and thanked athletic director Joe Castiglione, President Joseph Harroz Jr. and head coach Brent Venables.
“I am pursuing ministry and striving for true greatness by creating an impact for the kingdom,” Lofton said. “I want to take this moment to thank athletic director Joe Castiglione, President Joe Harroz and head coach Brent Venables for their unwavering support, leadership and guidance.”
This announcement comes after former assistant general manager Chuck Lillie left for West Virginia on Jan. 3 and while the Sooners are still searching for a defensive coordinator after the departure of Zac Alley to West Virginia on Dec. 29.
