Big things have been expected from Lane since he announced the Hilltoppers as his college choice on National Signing Day in 2016. The Carver High School (Montgomery, Ala.) standout was a three-star prospect ranked as the third-best receiver in Alabama by Scout.com.
Lane redshirted in 2016, waiting in the wings as Nicholas Norris and Taywan Taylor rewrote WKU’s receiving records.
The 6-foot-4, 200-pound wideout got his chance to play for the first time in 2017. He appeared in 12 games, starting five, after serving a one-game suspension for the Toppers’ season opener against Eastern Kentucky.
