had a phenomenal year at center for Cherry Creek. The 6’1 270-pound center allowed ZERO sacks all year. Very good strength and balance. Good knee bend and flexibility. He has very good initial quickness out of his stance and very good hand speed to engage against the defender first. Very good snap to block speed. Very good hand placement and hand strength. Controls and steers the DL out of the way, creating running lanes for the running backs. Very good pull blocking. Lee also dominates in the passing game. Neutralizing pass rush moves and anchoring into the ground giving his QB more time in the pocket. Phenomenal senior season by the standout center who can contribute at the next level.
Lee is the center point of the Cherry Creek offensive line, and has continued to bring excellence to an elite offensive line. Measures in at 6’1 270-pounds. Lee has very good initial quickness out of his stance and very good hand speed. He engages the opponent and wins. Very good hand speed and hand placement. Controls and steers the defender easily. Good knee bend, flexibility, very good balance, and body control. He is explosive and drives the defensive line back in the run game, or locks them up in the pass. Very good anchor. He neutralizes the pass rush moves, or stands tall against powerful bull rushes. He has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, and very good foot quickness. This helps in spaces or screen games, or going from the 1st to 2nd level. Very good pull blocker too. Lee is dominant and just received an offer from Colorado Mesa University. I believe he is a D1 talent.
Lee is a tone setter in the trenches. Physical at the point of attack and technically sound, Lee consistently dominates defenders with his strength and motor. In the run game, he’s capable of clearing lanes and finishing blocks. In pass protection, he stays low and uses his base to hold his ground. Lee’s versatility, being able to play center or guard, adds to his recruiting value. He holds offers from Incarnate Word and South Dakota School of Mines, but his power and agility suggest he will be garnering more attention soon. Coaches looking for a tough, high IQ interior lineman should be paying attention to this standout.
Measures in at 6’1 270 pounds, playing G and C. Lee has very good strength. Very good initial quickness out of his stance. As a center, he quickly snaps the ball and instantly engages DL. Very good hand placement and hand strength to control and steer defender. Explosive leg drive to move DL backwards. Very good reaction time. Thought he was blocking a LB, DE and LB switch, Lee makes the correct adjustment and succeeds. Very good anchor mirrors and locks out DL. Very good flexibility, good balance and knee bend. Very good blocking out in open space. Uses his good speed and acceleration to cut linebackers off, or reach the 2nd level with ease. Very good pull blocker, leading the way for his RB to get a TD. Colleges NEED to look his way.
