Shawn Lee Jr. brings early playmaking pop to Pitt's secondary
Shawn Lee Jr. is a young Pitt defensive back whose early 2025 production was efficient for a freshman, with 9 total tackles and a tackle for loss in just 3 games, showing active run support and instincts near the ball. At 5'10", 180 pounds, he profiles as a compact, competitive cover man with upside rather than a finished product, and his transfer-portal move suggests his path at Pitt may have been unsettled. If you want a DB with young-energy, toughness, and some early disruption ability, he is worth tracking; if you need a proven, fully established starter right now, the résumé is still limited.[2][3][1]
