UT guard, Chris Lofton played his senior season at Tennessee while he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. The Maysville, Kentucky native found out about the tumor while taking a random drug test before last years matchup with Ohio State during the NCAA tournament. The only reason he didn't want to make it public was because he didn't want to use it as an excuse.

Every team in every sport needs a Chris Lofton. Lofton is a class act, a hard worker, and will be successful in whatever he does after basketball. I admire and respect him, and wish him the best.

I have never, and will never root for Tennessee, but I always found myself rooting for Lofton. He didn't "turn on UK," UK was never interested to begin with (which is a completely different topic). You knew he had heart and determination watching him play, but after finding this out...WOW! And to think it happened because he was picked at random for a drug test. What are the odds? This guy has earned even more respect from me. What a warrior! I wish him nothing but the best of luck in whatever career path he chooses.

LIVESTRONG Chris
