Mississippi State has been active on the junior college recruiting trail, and they added a fourth East Mississippi Community College product to their 2024 class on Monday with the commitment of cornerback Brylan Lanier.
Lanier, a 6-foot-1, 185-pound redshirt sophomore, finished his 2023 campaign with 60 tackles, 3.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one interception and four pass breakups, helping EMCC to an appearance in the NJCAA National Championship Game.
The Tuscaloosa, Ala. native initially began his college career with the hometown Alabama Crimson Tide, redshirting the 2021 season. He spent the 2022 season at Indiana, making 11 tackles and one sack.
Lanier garnered interest from numerous Power Five programs as one of the top junior college defensive backs in the country. He made official visits to Arkansas, NC State and Georgia before picking Mississippi State.
Lanier is the sixth junior college prospect in Mississippi State’s 2024 class. He joins three of his EMCC teammates in linebacker Marcus Ross, safety Tyler Woodard and defensive lineman Ashun Shepphard along with Hinds C.C. linebacker Branden Jennings and Co-Lin C.C. running back Johnnie Daniels.
