Depth Chart Overview
Lee, the second-highest ranked member of Auburn’s 2023 recruiting class, took advantage of enrolling early and impressed during spring practice and looks like he will be an immediate contributor in a talented secondary.
D.J. James and Nehemiah Pritchett are Auburn’s starting cornerbacks but Lee has made a run at being the No. 3 corner as just a freshman. If he is able to hold onto his second-team spot during fall camp expect him to see the field plenty next year.
