Lee played his high school football across the country at Marietta High School in Marietta, GA. There, he would become a three-star recruit with a 79.8 rating. Lee was the No. 2164 overall recruit in the 2020 cycle and was ranked 227 among linebackers and 205 in terms of players coming out of the state of Georgia, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

During his time at Stanford, Lee has failed to record any stats, something that he is likely looking to change with his decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Lee is not the only Cardinal linebacker who recently entered the transfer portal. Fellow linebackers, fellow linebackers Aaron Armitage and  Benjamin Hudson have, too, gone portalling. Hudson entered his name earlier on Tuesday. 

Armitage, who was a redshirt sophomore this past year, played three seasons at Stanford, where he logged 22 total tackles and two sacks over that time. This season he logged four totaled tackles and one sack while only seeing action in four games, where he recorded one tackle a piece in each of those outings.

He was most productive as a sophomore, playing in eight games in which he made 15 tackles and recorded one tackle for loss. As a true freshman in 2021, he appeared in three games, which allowed him to retain the ability to redshirt. He made the first sack of his career during the season finale against Notre Dame.

He is a former four-star recruit, per the On3 Industry Rankings, which is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. He was the No. 204 overall player in the 2021 class, the No. 18 EDGE in his cycle, and the No. 2 player out of his home state of New Jersey. 

Hudson played high school football at Bishop Gorman (NV), where he was a three-star prospect. He was the No. 1433 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. The On3 Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete and unbiased measurement. He did not accumulate any stats for the soon-to-be ACC program.
