Breakdown
**Breakdown written by Auburn Live Recruiting Analyst Cole Pinkston
— Lane-Ganus is a 5-foot-11 180-pound defensive back. At this point in his career, as he is entering the 11th grade, he is well-developed. The 4-star defensive back has a muscular build along with good raw power for a smaller player.
— Lane-Ganus was put in man coverage situations often as a sophomore. Keep in mind, he was playing at the highest level of competition in Alabama at Thompson High School then. Lane-Ganus shows a mean streak as well as the ability to play in press situations.
— His speed is good enough to stay with receivers, but he wins his one-on-one battles with a physical demeanor and good positioning.
SEC readiness
Lane-Ganus is still young as a class of 2024 prospect. He also doesn’t have a large sample of film to go by. One thing is for sure: he has the correct size and frame, and also has plenty of athleticism to go with it.
