After some pre-game theatrics that no one has claimed, Texas A&M defensive back Will Lee III was thrust into the spotlight on Saturday morning against Missouri.
A blank and pleasant message was left in the hotel room of Missouri wide receiver Theo Wease who then posted it on his Instagram story. That prompted him to then wear the blanket around the stadium in defiance and showing he was ready for the battle.
Insert Kansas State transfer Will “The Blanket” Lee who proceeded to have a shutdown day helping hold the Tigers to only one touchdown that came on a broken play. Lee had 43 coverage snaps and allowed zero catches with one pass breakup. As a team, they only allowed 186 yards and Lee’s performance earned him the East-West Shrine Bowl Texas Star of the Week acknowledgement.
