Dijon Lee Jr. 2025 season outlook

Lee will see action for the Crimson Tide in 2025, but in what exact role is still a question mark.

As to why, that is because Alabama has both Domani Jackson and Zabien Brown cemented as returning starters at cornerback, as well as DaShawn Jones at husky. Positions that Lee could potentially see time at this fall, the former five-star likely enters 2025 as a backup as a result of this, but should be among the top options in that conversation who could rotate in with the first team defense.

Expect to see a lot of Lee this season, potentially both on defense and special teams, and for the freshman to likely continue emerging into a larger role as the season goes on.
