Scores in win Lee caught all four targets for 80 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 54-14 victory against Arkansas-Pine Bluff.

Impact Lee connected with quarterback Austin Simmons on a 47-yard strike to find the end zone during the second quarter, finishing second in receiving yards behind Donovan Olugbode. The senior wide receiver will aim to carry over the momentum for next week's game against Kansas.

SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE

Projected starter for Week 1 Lee is projected to start Thursday's game against Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact As expected, after committing to Missouri in January, Lee transferred colleges from fellow SEC school Mississippi. With the Runnin' Rebels, he excelled in back-to-back seasons, with both his 2025 and 2026 campaigns featuring at least 600 receiving yards and multiple touchdowns. In that span, Missouri's team was not as successful overall, so it makes sense that the wide receiver would log a top spot in the Tigers' receiving corps this season.

Joining Missouri Lee has committed to Missouri, On3.com reports.

Impact Lee was a late entry into the transfer portal, possibly due to uncertainty at Ole Miss about Trinidad Chambliss's 2026 eligibility. The wideout will still be catching passes from a familiar face with Missouri, as former Ole Miss starter Austin Simmons joined the Tigers this offseason as well. Lee caught 44 passes for 635 yards and three touchdowns in 2025, and he could serve as Missouri's top pass-catcher in 2026.

Hitting transfer portal Lee is slated to enter the transfer portal, On3.com reports.

Impact Lee is coming off a combined 101 catches for 1,509 yards and five touchdowns over the past two seasons in Oxford, but it appears he'll head elsewhere for the 2026 campaign. Given that former head coach Lane Kiffin has taken the job at LSU, it's possible Lee will be Baton Rouge-bound to join him, though it's unclear.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go for Miami Lee (undisclosed) is available for Thursday's game against Miami.

Impact Concerns about Lee's availability lasted briefly, as he will be good to go for the Mississippi-Miami semifinal. He has 39 receptions for 568 yards and three touchdowns this season.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Probable before semifinal Lee (undisclosed) is probable for Thursday's game against Miami.

Impact Unlike all other offensive players also listed probable for Thursday, Lee is a new addition to Mississippi's availability report. The wide receiver sitting out would be huge, considering he has been a regular target of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss. At the very least, Lee's probable status suggests it is just a precautionary measure.
