Georgia State safety Antavious Lane is the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week after he returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown to help lead Georgia State to a 49-29 victory over East Carolina.
The redshirt freshman from West Palm Beach, Fla., is the first GSU freshman to win a conference Player of the Week award.
Lane also contributed five tackles and two pass breakups. He was a key cog in a Georgia State defense that did not allow a touchdown to East Carolina (ECU scored its three touchdowns on a pick-six, fake field goal and blocked punt).
