He probably wasn’t well developed at that point, some players just blossom late, I’ve seen kids dominate pop Warner then not so much in high school, I’ve also seen a kid go from not doing much in pop Warner and dominates in high school. It’s plenty of reason for it maybe he started playing football late. Maybe he played a different position early on and switched…

I think Lee was a low rated TE coming out of HS>

Super low ranked out of HS barely cracked the top 2000 but a lot of interior OL are low ranked/hard to project. I think he was around 6'2 as well so height was an issue. UCF did develop him so they get credit coupled with him just being a hard worker and a little bit of a late bloomer.

Looking at his UCF profile he took his RS as a True freshman in 2019, then in 2020 started all 10 games at center and 2021 all 12 games at center.

A lot had to do with the fact he played OT in HS and he’s undersized there. He switched to C at UCF.
