Dijon Lee
As a College Recruit
Very tall cornerback with advanced awareness and feet in coverage. Measured at 6-foot-3.25, 187 pounds with 32-inch arms and 9.5-inch hands at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season.Battle tested against top competition in one of the nation’s most competitive high school leagues. Rarely out of position in coverage. Technically sound when working off the line of scrimmage, using his hands to affect receivers. Good ball skills and ball production. Able to track and locate passes. Looks to understand route concepts and has been well coached. Skilled at reading quarterbacks, sometimes baiting them into ill-advised throws. Dangerous in zone coverage. A physical presence in defending the flats. Bodies ball carriers on contact. Top-end speed remains a question. His personal best in the 100 meters is an 11.53 over three seasons of track and field, but has a 46-foot triple jump. Arm length is good at the position, but below average for a 6-foot-3 corner. Ultimate upside as a corner will be largely determined by his improvements in long speed, but has the size and technical skills to be an impact player at the position. Also not of the cards he could end up as a safety long-term given his size and skills.
Reminds Us Of
Dijon Lee's size and skill set reminds us of Benjamin St-Juste. Lee is more polished at the same stage with St-Juste playing high school football in Canada. St-Juste is longer.
