WEEK 1 STATS: 8 total tackles (8 solo), 3.0 TFL, 2.0 sacks, 2 FF
Lee wreaked plenty of havoc during Saint Francis’ near-win at Lehigh. Opening the season on the road against a 2017 FCS playoff participant, the SFU linebacker caused two key turnovers while recording a team-high eight solo tackles. Lee logged 3.0 tackles-for-loss, including 2.0 sacks, and was credited with two forced fumbles. With Lehigh facing a 3rd-and-5 at the SFU 20-yard line on the game’s opening possession, Lee popped the ball free from All-American running back Dom Bragalone and the Red Flash recovered. Lee struck again early in the fourth quarter with SFU facing a 21-13 deficit. As the pocket collapsed around Lehigh QB Brad Mayes, Lee registered a strip sack that was recovered in the end zone for a SFU touchdown. Lee made six tackles against the run with five of them limiting Bragalone to two yards or less.
