Lee, a 5-11, 175-pound wide receiver out of Kennesaw, Georgia, signed at his high school. “He’s a four-star human being as well,” his high school coach said shortly before Lee made his announcement.
Lee picked the Rebels over: Auburn, UCF, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and others. This season, he caught 74 passes for 1,101 yards and 13 touchdowns.
“Thank you to the man above, for without him I would not be here….I’ve been very blessed with many different opportunities but there can only be one….thank you so much, and I love you guys.”
