4-star OT Malakai Lee to commit later this month

Add Honolulu (Hi.) Kamehameha Secondary four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee to the growing list of blue-chip prospects that are set to commit later this month.

The 6-foot-7, 310-pounder told On3’s Steve Wiltfong on Monday that he will announce his decision on June 27. Last month, he tabbed Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Texas as his finalists.

Lee is the No. 119 overall prospect and No. 11 OT in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 2 player in Hawaii.

On3 ranks Lee higher than other recruiting services. He checks in as the No. 85 recruit and No. 9 OT in the 2026 On300.

Lee has now taken official visits to three of his contenders. Michigan will round things out this weekend and lead into Lee’s decision. Over the weekend, he returned to Athens for an unofficial visit with Georgia — he logged his official visit with the Bulldogs in April.

Lee talks his official visits

On3 has compiled wall-to-wall coverage on Lee’s recruitment this summer as he logs official visits and works toward his decision:

On his Georgia official visit: “After going to Georgia on my OV, I really liked it out there. From the staff to the facilities, everything there is first class. Coach Smart and Coach Searels know how to develop players to win championships.”

On his Alabama official visit: “Bama is like a factory,” Lee said. “They have really nice facilities and I like that it’s super chill there so there’s no distractions. You can focus on school and football. Coach Kap has been really great and I had a good time with the boys while I was there.”

On his Texas official visit: “Texas really does it big on OV weekend,” Lee said. “I had a great time. Coach Sark is building something special in Austin … they will be National Champions very soon … Texas has a good chance. Coach Flood has a plan for me to become great. I’m ready to put in the work.”
