He transferred to the Capstone where he spent one season and saw no time on the field. Then, he entered the portal again shortly after Alabama's 33-18 national championship loss to Georgia and announced his transfer to Indiana in May of 2022.

Last season for Indiana, he recorded 11 total tackles (eight solo, three assisted), one tackle for loss for 13 yards, and one sack for 13 yards.

The Indiana football team went 4-8 last year, including 2-7 in conference play, and finished at No. 12 in the Big 10.

Lanier is a Tuscaloosa, Ala., native and a Paul W. Bryant High School alumnus.
