Elijah Lanier is a gifted DB from Anniston who’s set up for a huge senior season this upcoming fall.

“Lanier is a physical CB who thrives off his size, speed, and ball skills out in coverage. Lanier can press WRs at the LOS and has the instincts and timing to break on passes and force PBUs/INTs.

I love how Lanier gets involved against the run- he’s great in pursuit and consistently flies down to the line of scrimmage to rack up TFLs. Lanier is a well-rounded defender who can make impact plays against the run and pass- it’ll be exciting to watch him moving forward.“

Lanier plays with excellent balance and footwork, allowing him to stay in-phase with top wideouts. His physicality at the catch point makes him a nightmare for receivers trying to win contested plays. He also contributes in run support, tackling with great form and aggression.
