This season, he leads the nation in total offense per game (375.5) while also ranking second in point responsibility (174), third in passing yards (2,190), fourth in passing TDs (21) and rush yards per carry (7.5), fifth in completion percentage (68.3%) and eighth in rushing yards (814).Lee finishes his career as one of the most illustrious players in JMU football history.

Lee is very active with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and last week was featured by FCA Magazine in a story called "Heart of an Athlete," in which he was able to talk about faith playing an integral part in his growth to become the man and leader he is today. A public policy and administration major, Lee will graduate from JMU in December.
