Zach Lofton will be transferring to the University of Minnesota. Lofton graduated from Columbia Heights in 2011.
According to Marcus Fuller of the St. Paul Pioneer Press: “Lofton, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound guard, averaged 11.3 points as a sophomore with the RedBirds this season but said he wanted to play closer to home and didn't get much resistance from Illinois State, which suspended him for the final three games of last season for undisclosed reasons.”
