Eric Lee Jr. brought ball-hawking juice to Nebraska’s secondary
In his Nebraska career, Eric Lee Jr. stood out as a versatile defensive back who made the switch from cornerback to safety and quickly flashed playmaking ability, including a 2019 season with 20 tackles, 2 interceptions, 1 touchdown, and a blocked kick. He’s the kind of athlete who helps a secondary with instincts, toughness, and assignment flexibility rather than just splashy size or speed metrics. For a team, the appeal is clear: reliable, intelligent, and opportunistic in the back end.
