He took official visits to Liberty, NC State, and UConn.
He redshirted in 2022 before a breakout redshirt-freshman season in 2023 for Shaw as a wide receiver and kick returner. In 10 games played, Lee had 26 receptions for 402 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also had 13 kick returns for 326 yards and a touchdown with a long of 98. For his exploits, Lee was named All-CIAA first-team as a kick returner and to the all rookie team.
Lee is originally from Baltimore, Maryland where he attended Dunbar High School. He will be added to a wide receiver room that will be looking to help offset the losses of Noah Frith and Elijah Smoot while he could also factor into the return game.
