William Lee brings veteran DT grit and disruptive flashes to NIU
In the 2017 season, Northern Illinois DT William Lee was a steady, high-motor interior presence who piled up 19 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks, building on a career that included 82 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, and 2.5 sacks across 52 games. He’s the kind of line anchor coaches love: leverage, experience, and enough burst to sneak into the backfield, plus a reputation for toughness and perseverance that shows up in the little things. If your team wants a proven, battle-tested DT who plays with edge and doesn’t need the spotlight, he’s a strong fit.
