It would have been easy for DeAndre Lane to transfer and leave Maryland at any point during the past two years. After appearing in four games while battling a hamstring injury during his freshman year in 2013, he appeared in only the season opener last season. He could have elected to go down a level to the Football Championship Subdivision or try his luck somewhere else where he could play immediately.
But Lane decided to stick it out. And now, three-quarters of the way into the season and almost three years into his college career, he's reaping the results.
