Lee initially committed to Ole Miss on Oct. 21. Lee selected Ole Miss over offers from Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, Duke, Vanderbilt and NC State.
The 6-foot-3, 285-pound Lee is a native of McDonough, Georgia. Lee is rated as the No. 60 prospect in Georgia and the nation’s No. 48 ranked defensive tackle, according to 247Sports. Lee amassed 26.0 tackles for loss (17.0 sacks) and 53 total tackles during his junior year at Ola High School, according to Sports Illustrated.
Ole Miss is currently ranked 73rd nationally and 13th in the SEC for its class of 2021 recruits, according to 247Sports. Ole Miss has 3 4-star commitments and 7 3-star commitments, as well as a JUCO transfer commitment.
Ole Miss is 4-4 in Lane Kiffin’s first season at the helm and is coming off a 31-24 victory vs. rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl.
This is the 3rd low 3 star-ranked decommit this week. Wonder what the cause is.
He must be too low for Kiffin? Maybe Kiffin wanted someone else better that can get the defense to compete in the SEC.
My thoughts.
Umm, not really bad new, when the involved parties have been informed weeks ago that Ole Miss was moving in a different direction.
