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. |
