Willie Lanier: How Did Pro Football Hall of Famer From Richmond Get to Morgan State?
Willie Lanier said he received only one scholarship offer coming out of Maggie Walker High School. That invitation was extended by Virginia State University. Fate intervened, and he ended up at Morgan State, which opens the football season as the University of Richmond’s guest on the evening of Sept. 2. At Morgan State, located in Baltimore, Lanier was a two-time Small College All-American.
