The IFL is proud to announce Northern Arizona’s Tramond Lofton as the Defensive Player of the Year. 

Lofton dominated on defense for a Wranglers team that locked up a playoff spot as they aimed to defend their title. Lofton was nearly unblockable as the Wranglers defense followed behind his stellar play. 

Lofton led the league with 24.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 more than the next closest on the list. He also led the IFL with eight sacks in 2023.
