Four-star CB Dijon Lee Jr., one of the rising stars of the college football scene, is already making his presence felt in his new team. A recent training clip circulating on social media gave a glimpse of Lee’s impressive speed and eye-catching length, which set him apart from his peers. His great form could be a hint toward yet another season of greatness.
CB Dijon Lee Jr. Is Making His Presence Felt in Alabama
Lee, ranked as one of the top cornerbacks in 2025, enrolled in Alabama last month, giving head coach Kalen DeBoer another major recruiting win. The standout defensive back from Mission Viejo High School in California was one of the most sought-after prospects, considering offers from Washington, Texas A&M, Georgia, and Texas before ultimately choosing the Crimson Tide.
At 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, Lee owns a rare combination of size, speed, and athleticism. His length makes him an imposing defender, capable of shutting down smaller receivers. In the social media clip, it’s clear that, even in training, his length pulls eyes onto him.

Lee joins fellow four-star recruit Chuck McDonald, another top-100 defensive back, in DeBoer’s 2025 class.
Alabama’s recruiting efforts have been right on point since June 2024, with Lee being one of the latest additions to a rapidly growing class that now ranks No. 12 nationally in ESPN’s “way-too-early” team rankings of 2025.
Lee’s enrollment has added a lot of potential to an already loaded lineup, including quarterback Keelon Russell, offensive tackle Micah Debose, running back Anthony Rogers, and linebacker Dawson Merritt.
The Crimson Tide’s momentum continues to build as DeBoer assembles his first full recruiting class at Alabama.
