Special-teams grinder with turnover juice and a linebacker frame
In the 2025 season, Dylan Lee’s role at San Jose State was mostly special teams, but he still flashed impact plays with seven tackles and a career-high three stops at Nevada, plus a forced fumble and fumble recovery in earlier action. What makes him interesting is the combo of size, effort, and splash-play instincts: he’s not yet a volume-stat linebacker, but he has already shown he can finish plays and create turnovers. For a team, he profiles as a high-motor depth piece with upside if he keeps growing into an every-down linebacker role.
