Donald Lee brings length, ball skills, and versatile secondary value to UAB
In the 2024 season, Donald Lee was a steady UAB cornerback, appearing in 11 games and posting 20 tackles, 3 pass breakups, 2 quarterback hurries, and 1 tackle for loss, with career totals of 36 tackles and 3 interceptions across Grambling State and UAB.[3][7] At 6-foot-3, he has the kind of length coaches love on the perimeter, and reports note he can move between corner, nickel, and safety, which is a sneaky-big differentiator for a defense that wants matchup flexibility.[3][15] He was also limited in spring by injury, so the fit question is less about talent and more about whether a team wants a versatile, experienced defensive back with real coverage upside and a little position-chess in his game.[15]
