Favorite Schools: For now, Lance likes Rutgers, Syracuse, Maryland, Michigan State and Notre Dame. He has also heard from other schools such as Boston College, Colorado and Penn State.
Skinny: A bruising fullback who breaks tackles and has the speed to run away from defenders, Lance is looking for another great year and hopes to open more eyes.
"I am concentrating on working hard during the off-season. It looks like I'll be playing in a one-back offense this year and that's fine with me."
Lance did not have the opportunity to play defense last season, but that will change this year because he's just to good of a player to keep off the field.
"I'm not really sure what position I'll play on defense, most likely strong safety. I'm looking forward to playing D this year."
Lance will be attending the Rivals100 Junior Day in New Jersey and was also invited to the Nike Camp at Penn State in April. He has no offers yet, but by the time Signing Day comes around he should have his choice.
