Recorded four tackles and three pass breakups as well as getting one of WCU's five interceptions, which came on Furman's second possession of the game ...

2004 (So.): Named Second Team (coaches) All-Southern Conference ... Helped Western Carolina rank 15th nationally in second in the SoCon in pass defense, allowing just 163.64 passing yards per game ... For the season, Lee ranked eighth on the team in tackles with 40, while tying for the team lead with six pass break-ups ...

Closed the season in fine fashion, earning SoCon Defensive Player of the Week honors versus Appalachian State ... Tallied eight tackles, including seven solo stops, a sack and broke-up a pair of passes as the Catamounts upset Appalachian State ... Helped contain App State's DaVon Fowlkes, limiting the SoCon Offensive Player of the Year to five catches for 56 yards and no touchdowns ... Late in the second quarter, with ASU on the Catamount 20 yard line, it was Lee's seven-yard sack that backed the Mountaineers up, forcing ASU to settle for a 48-yard field goal making the score 6-3 in WCU's favor at the break ... To start the third quarter, Lee broke up an Alan Atwater pass to Richie Williams (on a tailback throw back play) in the endzone, once again forcing an App field goal, giving WCU a 9-6 lead.

2003 (RFr.): Was the only defensive back to start all 12 games, ranking fifth on the team in tackles with 57 ... Added two tackles for losses, while pacing the team with five pass break ups ... One of six Catamounts to record an interception ... In his first collegiate action, tallied 10 tackles (eight solo and two assists) versus North Carolina State ...
