Florida Becomes 29th Offer For Nacogdoches’ Jaylon Lane

The list of schools continues to grow longer by the day for Nacogdoches 2015 cornerback Jaylon Lane, who received an another big-time offer Friday.

The Florida Gators were next to extend an offer to Lane (6-2, 185), the Dragons playmaker announced on Twitter late Friday morning. Florida became the 29th Division I FBS school to offer Lane, who has picked up five offers since Saturday.

Lane, the most recruited player in all of East Texas, received an offer from Wake Forest on Saturday, heard from Arkansas on Tuesday and got calls from both Texas Tech and Miami on Thursday.

Florida gave Lane his eighth offer from the SEC, joining Arkansas, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. Lane has more offers from the SEC than any other conference in the country.

The Gators uncharacteristically went 4-8 in 2013 and missed out on a bowl game for the first time since 1990. Florida had gone 83-23 from 2005-2012, including BCS national championships following the 2006 and 2008 seasons under former coach Urban Meyer.

Lane and Gladewater defensive tackle Daylon Mack -- a Texas A&M commit -- are the only East Texans in the 2015 class with an offer from Florida.

Nacogdoches should field one of the best secondaries in all of the region this fall.

Lane, who has spent the last two seasons at San Angelo Central High School, had five interceptions, 46 tackles and averaged more than 45 yards on five kickoff returns as a junior. He'll team with 2016 safety Brandon Jones, who himself has 12 high-major offers.
