It may take a little bit for him to find his niche ala Jacoby Stevens but he and marcel brooks are very similar but marcel looks faster/quicker

He has really good ball skills, almost "too good" to play on defense, but is also a pretty smart, effective all around football player.

My best guess is he will get looked at at WR first (and I think that's his preference, but don't quote me on that) then quickly move to Safety/OLB for the future.

I think hes an athlete on defense that could play SS or OLB. On offense hes a more athletic Racey McMath but not sure McMath has a real role in the O as of now.

Verdict for me is defense in some capacity.

He’ll be 235 by the time college is over and be an elite OLB

Sounds like Lee is going to start at WR, I’d rather give that scholly to Pickens if it’s one or the other.

It's definitely not one or the another...we'll take Pickens, too, if he qualifies and wants in.

Plus, if Lee starts out at WR and shines, then we have a great WR. If not, we'll have a great player and frame for a defender.

I think he has the body to full out to around 230 without losing little to no athletism so OLB playing the run, rushing and covering.

Pickens is definitely legit.

Any links to Lee being physical in his highlights?

Lee will play where it is believed he is needed the most.

Like Stevens, he could play multiple positions.

My question about Lee is, does he really want to play at LSU?

Very very physical player. Too good of hands and ball skills to waste. Add 20 pounds to him and let him be a dangerous as hell HB/TE. Could motion out wide in red zone and be a damn good fade threat.

When you start making Laron comparisons, in any context, you gotta back it up

My guess is Safety to start, but really too early to tell...it’s wide open with his skills , speed, and size...may try him at several positions...& then tell him what the team needs...let’s look at attrition between now & the fall.
