Former Texas A&M WR hired as Western Kentucky’s scouting director

Texas A&M’s culture under former head coach Jimbo Fisher and current coach Mike Elko shares similarities, focusing on developing players into future leaders, both on and off the field, while several players who transferred from the program remain strongly associated with the Maroon & White. One of those players, former Aggie wide receiver Chase Lane, is on his way to accomplishing his future goals.

Chase Lane’s Texas A&M career lasted three seasons (2020-2022), as the Houston, Texas native reeled in what remains his career-high 409 yards and two touchdowns, and after transferring to Georgia Tech to join former Aggie quarterback Haynes King, Lane reeled in four touchdowns over two seasons, while providing leadership in the locker room.

Lane’s playing career ended a couple of years after the chaos surrounding NIL took center stage, sparking national debates and even reaching the federal government. Lane’s impressive academic career led him to a front office position with Georgia Tech, serving as the Yellow Jackets’ NIL recruiting coordinator, and, according to CBS Sports insider Matt Zenitz, he has accepted a position as Western Kentucky’s director of scouting.

Still in his early 20’s, Lane’s future is extremely bright, and now has a chance to make an impact on the recruiting trail with the Hilltoppers, and could make his way back to Georgia Tech or Texas A&M in an even bigger front office or coaching role.
