Dane returns for his record fourth season with the Knights after redshirting at Oregon State in 2014  following his transfer from San Jose State. He will be the first four-year Knight since the inception of the WCL in 2005.

Dane enjoyed a stellar 2013 summer in Corvallis and was named the team's Most Valuable Player and first-team all-WCL after helping lead the Knights to their third league title. He hit .343 (48-140) in 46 WCL games, with no homers and 16 RBIs, and tied for second in steals (25-for-26) and sacrifice hits (11). He led the Knights in hitting and was sixth in the batting race.

He had a team-best .452 on-base percentage and struck out just 12 times in 162 total plate appearances. He also had 26 walks.

Dane hit .261 (30-115) in 38 games for the Knights in 2012, with a homer and 13 RBIs. He hit .259 for Corvallis in 26 games in 2011, with no homers and six RBIs.

Dane transferred to SJSU for the 2013 season after spending two years at Mt. Hood Community College. He hit .241 (19-79) in 32 games for the Spartans, with a homer and eight RBIs.
