Lane emerged as a steady and disruptive presence along the defensive front, putting together a breakout season defined by production and consistency. He had 73 total tackles, six tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks, consistently disrupting the rhythm of opposing offenses. Lane shows the ability to shed blocks with strength and sound hands, knocking linemen off balance and working laterally to track down ball carriers. His leverage and pad level allow him to hold his ground in the trenches, while his ability to make open field tackles help. Lane’s motor and physical playing style translate well to Friday nights and his continued development should keep him firmly on the radar as a rising small school defensive prospect.
