Will be a junior this coming season. Where does play next season? WR to LB to TE. We are low in both LB and TE.

Seems small for a TE but maybe he’s physical enough in some run blocking. Hopefully can catch the ball, being he played WR in 2019. But I see Kole Taylor, Nick Storz, and potentially incoming freshman Jalen Shead taking most of the snaps due to height/weight.

Wish he could work out at LB. Seemed like an athletic freak out of HS. Could find his way in in a 2 deep rotation with Blake Baker as position coach.

I don't know his exact height and weight, and it's almost 4am so I'm not looking it up. You would hope by yr 3, and with the new staff coming in, that they'll find his true position and he thrives in it. I dont know what he's best at, but if the kid likes to hit and is a little mean, should've been putting on muscle to play D. If you wanma actually touch the ball during a game, and score some TDs, play O.

It’s unfortunate that he hasn’t spent his 3 years solely focusing on playing linebacker because we could really use one of those and I think he has the athleticism to run sideline to sideline and really make an impact there.

Similar to Jacoby Steven's....awesome athlete who moved around a couple years before finding a position.

I have to believe the only way he isn’t playing is because he hasn’t learned the playbook or gotten down the technical aspects of the game. He was a man amongst boys in high school that I thought would have an easier time translating to college because he’s so physical. Hopefully he gets on the field soon.

I say put him at TE and find a LB or two in transfer portal.

This new defense would be perfect for him. Just like it will be for Damone Clark.

He will still be a sophomore this year won’t he? So has 3 more yrs in the program to “get it”.

He’s trying out WR again. Probably one last shot before he moves on.

Honestly I have checked out on Lee. Until he proves me and us wrong I don't think he will ever get it done here. Does his situation remind any of David Ducre? Came in built up as a thumping LB and a man amongst boys in high school and then moved to FB and never ended up seeing the field really here.

I think it has a lot to do with the coaching staff just like DT/OG Joseph Evans, where ever they put him he balled out and they keep flipping him. Just like S JaCoby Stevens they played him all over the field except at LB where they should've played him. I wish they play Devonta Lee at LB and just coach him up and it will pay dividends.

There’s a high probability he will not be with LSU word on the street in Amite
