He earned Honorable Mention All-Big XII honors after transferring to Texas in 2022. Lee emphasized his experience playing a variety of special teams roles in all four of his collegiate seasons and considers himself position-flexible enough to play cornerback, nickel cornerback or safety in the NFL.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: "I was in a formal (meeting) with the Steelers and I really had the whole room laughing with some stuff I said. But I feel like it was all cool people and I felt like I was able to be myself and they accepted me for who I was." _ Watts on the "3rd and Longhorn" podcast on which pre-draft interview with an NFL team was his most enjoyable.
