Austen Lane remains a Murray State legend, not an active 2026 Racers DE
Austen Lane is best known as a Murray State Hall of Fame edge rusher whose college résumé still jumps off the page: 29 sacks, 55 tackles for loss, 40 starts, and multiple school records. In his Murray State career, he was a disruptive, high-motor defender with rare production and kick-blocking ability, which is why he was later the program’s highest NFL draft pick. The big catch: current sources indicate he is a retired former player, so he is not a present-day fit for a college roster in 2026.
