4-Star Cornerback Dijon Lee Commits to Alabama
Alabama’s recruiting class for 2024 just got stronger with the addition of four-star cornerback Dijon Lee, who recently announced his commitment to the Crimson Tide.
Lee, a standout from St. Louis, Missouri, chose Alabama over a number of top programs, solidifying Nick Saban’s ability to continue securing elite talent at a position of need.
Lee is widely regarded as one of the top defensive back prospects in the country. Standing at 6’0″ and weighing 175 pounds, his combination of size, athleticism, and technical skills make him an intriguing prospect for the Crimson Tide’s defense. Known for his speed, ball skills, and physicality in coverage, Lee is expected to be a key contributor in the secondary.
He brings a rare blend of versatility and playmaking ability, making him an excellent fit in Alabama’s aggressive defensive scheme.
During his high school career at East St. Louis High School, Lee showcased his ability to shut down top-tier wide receivers while also displaying his knack for creating turnovers.
As a junior, he recorded multiple interceptions and showed his ability to excel in both man and zone coverage.
His performance in high school earned him offers from nearly every major program in the country, including schools like Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State, but Alabama’s tradition of developing elite defensive backs and competing for championships ultimately swayed his decision.
Lee’s commitment is a huge win for Alabama as they look to reload and strengthen their secondary. With veteran cornerbacks like Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terryon Arnold in the mix, Lee will have an opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business as he prepares to take on the physicality of SEC football.
This commitment is also a sign of the ongoing success of Alabama’s recruiting efforts under Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide have consistently brought in some of the best defensive backs in the nation, and with the addition of Dijon Lee, that trend looks set to continue.
As Lee prepares for his senior season in high school and then heads to Tuscaloosa, expectations will be high for the talented cornerback to make an immediate impact.
