Jorvorskie Lane was born four weeks premature in Lufkin, Texas, where he was raised by his grandparents.

At birth, he weighed four pounds and was hospitalized for the first fourteen days of his life as his organs were underdeveloped.

In junior high, Lane weighed 125 pounds, and aspired to become the next Michael Jordan, prior to his weight gain.

Lane also played basketball in high school, in which he averaged 16 points per game and earned an all-district pick.

Sherman told Lane of the position change prior to his press conference where he was officially announced as the new A&M coach.

Lane also needed to block for starting tailback Mike Goodson, especially since the offensive line is inexperienced.

In the fourth game against Army, A&M coaches used Lane to run out the clock in the final quarter.

A Sports Illustrated reporter wrote that this kind of performance "could push" Lane out of the 2009 NFL draft.

[11] Lane had a chance to showcase his abilities for NFL scouts in the 2009 East-West Shrine Game on January 17, 2009.

[12] During the game, he was unable to carry the ball past defenders inside the 5-yard line three times.

[1] Prior to the draft, scouts have stated that Lane could play up to his potential in the NFL if he shows his ability to control his weight.

[14][15] Lane signed a letter of intent to play for the West Texas Roughnecks of the Indoor Football League for the 2010 season.

After being out of football for a year and a half, Lane signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April 2014.

[22] In October 2014, Lane was suspended for two games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

[24] Lane is the half-brother of Jermichael Finley, who formerly played tight end for the Green Bay Packers.
