The 6-foot-4, 170-pound prospect adds some size and range to Vanderbilt's wide receiver group along with a ton of talent as Lanier is the reigning offensive player of the year in Region 5A and was named to the Atlanta Journal Constitution's All-State team.

Along with his accolades on the football field, Lanier was also Region 5A basketball player of the year and long jump champion (22.5 1/2). He also ran a personal-best 11.3 in the 100-meters during track season.

Lanier becomes the ninth overall commitment for Vandy in the 2023 class and the third wide receiver pledge - joining Maureice Sherrill of Lipscomb Academy (Tenn.) and Duran Parish of Biloxi (Miss.).
