A four-year starter at Navy with 43 consecutive starts under his belt, Lane III is a battle-tested back-end defender with an elite football IQ and tenacious motor. Despite a compact 5’10”, 200-pound frame and a pedestrian 5.25 RAS, Lane’s instincts and ball skills pop on tape. He posted a stellar 89.1 PFF coverage grade in 2024 while snaring 2 INTs and 4 PBUs. Lane is a willing run supporter with inside-outside flexibility, though he’ll need to clean up his 17.3% missed tackle rate and shore up pursuit angles. He shines brightest on special teams, where he’s logged 23 career ST tackles and was a consistent force as a gunner. While his mundane athletic profile limits his man coverage upside, Lane’s play anticipation, fluid transitions, and closing burst make him an ideal depth safety and special teams ace.
