Florida football defensive line: Jalen Lee

Jalen Lee is entering his third year in Gainesville, and hasn’t gotten consistent reps yet. This year he’ll still be a second string guy, but see much more action week to week.

Lee has tons of upside, as he has the strength to bully linemen into the run lines, and has great length to swat passes or slow down ball carriers.

He also has great hit power with his 6’2”-299 frame.

In his 2 years in Gainesville thus far he has 11 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble.

Being able to work under Gervon Dexter and Desmond Watson will help Lee develop his game, and he’ll be ready to step into the spotlight next season as a likely starter.
