It's been a bit of a slow week for Nacogdoches cornerback Jaylon Lane. He has only picked up four new scholarship opportunities this week.

Michigan State became the 6-2, 185-pound player's latest football option Saturday.

Lane, East Texas' most-recruited player, now has 24 unique destinations to choose from. That's a huge number considering he didn't have any scholarships until late February.

The corner's stock rose dramatically last week with 12 offers in a six-day span. Since then,  he has picked up additional scholarships from Georgia State, Missouri, Ohio State and now Michigan State.

Sparty is the 44th unique program to offer a group of 16 East Texans that hold offers to Division I colleges.

With major high school football combines underway and college football satellite camps scheduled to roll through the region in June, it's safe to assume more players will pick up offers in the relatively near future. The ETSN.fm and APEC football combine will be hosted on June 1.

Lane has hit a point in his recruitinf process where schools follow their regional and in-conference rivals' lead. He now has two Big Ten offers in addition to six SEC options, three Pac-12 scholarships, two offers from Big 12 schools, two options from the ACC and a scholarship to Notre Dame.

Michigan State won the Big Ten Championship Game over Ohio State and then topped Stanford for the Rose Bowl Championship.

The program had the No. 2 defense in the entire country last season, allowing just 252 yards per game. Louisville had the No. 1 defense and also has offered Lane.

Three sets of regional recruiting rivals have reached out to Lane in Kentucky-Louisville, Mississippi-Mississippi State and Oklahoma-Oklahoma State.

Offers from Michigan State, Notre Dame and Ohio State suggest Lane must be on Michigan's radar.

Lane is a tall, physical cornerback who could translate into a safety at the next level. He spent the last two seasons at Central High School in San Angelo before transferring back to his native Nacogdoches a few months ago.

As a junior, Lane had five interceptions, 46 tackles and averaged almost 46 yards on five kickoff returns, which included a 108-yarder for a touchdown. He will join forces with Dragons 2016 safety Brandon Jones to comprise what figures to be among East Texas’ best secondaries this fall.

Jones, who had a breakout sophomore season with 95 tackles, five interceptions, one defensive touchdowns and two special teams returns for scores, has 11 offers himself. He and Lane share common offers from Arizona State, LSU, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Washington State.
