Early life and education
Lee was born on June 11, 1999, and grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. He attended Robert E. Lee High School—now Riverside High School–in his hometown, playing football and basketball; he was a first-team all-district selection at offensive tackle in football. He began his college football career with the North Carolina Central Eagles, starting all 11 games as a freshman and remained a starter as a sophomore in 2019. Lee transferred to rival North Carolina A&T after the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In Lee's first season at North Carolina A&T, he started all 11 games and had the second-most snaps played among their offensive linemen with 648. He remained a starter for his senior season in 2022 and was named second-team All-Big South Conference.
