Aiden Lanier brings proven leg strength and award-level upside to Bethune-Cookman
Lanier enters the 2026 season as Bethune-Cookman’s junior kicker and a Fred Mitchell Award preseason watch-list pick, which says a lot about his non-FBS value and consistency. In 2026, he arrives after two seasons at Simpson College, where he earned all-conference honors and tied the school record for field goals in a season; he also handled kickoffs and even added a special-teams tackle. The draw here is reliability with range, plus the kind of experienced, high-effort profile coaches love in close games.
