“I knew it had to be a bigger move than just me,” Lanier said, according to the Tuscaloosa News. “It had to be more about family, had to be more about God. It had to be more about a program that I could mean something to and that can give a good message to people that look up to me.”

“It just gives me a good chance to first (stay) closer to home, which is good for my family,” Lanier said, “and it also gives me a way to show younger kids just because you’ve got other, bigger offers don’t mean that you have to go there.

Anything to drop to his knees again for Bama. Don't they have a site this guy could "write" for?

Best of luck to him

You have a multitude of options.

There's tens of thousands of them just pick one. And by the way they're the reason for having HBCU's.
