Mississippi State’s seasoned ball-hawking safety
Lanier is a high-mileage SEC safety whose value shows up in the details: in the 2025 season he posted 67 tackles, 4 interceptions, 2.5 tackles for loss and 1 sack, after a 2024 season with 53 tackles and 1 interception. Mississippi State lists him as a veteran starter who has played 25 games for the Bulldogs with 21 starts, and his transfer path through Alabama, Indiana and EMCC suggests adaptability and resilience. The best fit is a team that wants an experienced, instinctive defensive back who can erase mistakes and create takeaways.
