In the 2024 season, Lee played in all 12 games for the Trojans, making 10 starts. He put up the best numbers of his career, logging 31 total tackles, including 11 TFLs with 5 sacks, adding 1 forced fumble. Lee had at least a half sack in 8 contests last season.
Lee’s redshirt sophomore year in 2023 was cut short by a season-ending injury. In 8 games, he posted 15 total tackles with 3 TFLs.
The 2022 season was Lee’s first season of action. He played in all 14 contests, logging 7 tackles with 1 sack. Lee redshirted in 2021, his first season at Troy.
Arkansas also landed Fresno State CB Julian Neal and Maine DB Shakur Smalls.
