Jorvorskie Javion Lane (born February 4, 1987) is an American football fullback who is currently a free agent. He played tailback and fullback for the Texas A&M Aggies college football team. He played tailback during his freshman through junior seasons, and switched to fullback his senior season. He holds the school record for career rushing touchdowns (49). After his college career, he played one season for the West Texas Roughnecks of the Indoor Football League.
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. As a freshman at Lufkin High School, he weighed 248 pounds. Despite his heavy weight, he was very athletic during high school. As a three-year starter at running back, he rushed for 3,671 yards and 70 touchdowns, and recorded 82 receptions for 1,060 yards. His high school coach once stated that Lane was the "best guy he's ever coached" and that he could have "started at every position on either side of the football". Lane was a teammate of Wide Receiver Dez Bryant and was on the passing end of Bryant's first touchdown in high school. Lane also played basketball in high school, in which he averaged 16 points per game and earned an all-district pick.
Lane was a two-time all-state selection in high school, and was recruited by eight schools. He later signed a letter of intent with Texas A&M.
