Before attending Tech Lang went to the old South Georgia College in McRae.[2]
Lang was a prominent guard for John Heisman's Georgia Tech Golden Tornado of the Georgia Institute of Technology,[3] a member of its "All-Era" team under Heisman.[4]
The school's yearbook the Blue Print of 1915 describes Lang as "one of the biggest men on the varsity, not only in stature but in spirit as well."[2]
Lang was a starter for the 1916 Georgia Tech team which, as one writer wrote, "seemed to personify Heisman."[5] That team defeated Cumberland 222 to 0. He anchored the line along with Walker Carpenter and Pup Phillips.
