Lane was an excellent cornerback and dangerous return man for the Buckeyes. He was a four year letterman from '80 through '83 and was elected as a team captain as a senior.

Garcia Lane played as a DB and punt returner from 1981-83. He held tOSU's career record for punt return yardage at 895 yards, until David Boston broke the record in 1998. He still co-holds the Big-10 record for punt returns for TD's in a single game, 2 against Purdue on Oct. 8. 1983.
He was all Big-10 in 1983, and was selected in the 3rd round (#61 overall) by Kansas City in the 1984 NFL draft.

Pretty good db in the early 80's (pre Spielman) I think he played on the 85 Bears team too. (edit, I am wrong. that was shaun gale)
He holds the record for the most punt returns for a TD in one game against Purdue in 83 (2 td's).(161 yds 26.8 per return)
Also career leader in return yards (Dispatch)
Career: Garcia Lane, 895 yards, 1980-83
and All Big Ten in 83
2nd in punt return career (89-895)
