Kalen DeBoer’s first full recruiting class as head coach of the Alabama football team received another boost Friday. Cornerback Dijon Lee has committed to the Crimson Tide, joining the 2025 class.
Lee, a five-star prospect according to the 247Sports composite, plays high school football in Mission Viejo, California. He chose Alabama over a crowd of suitors, including Texas and Georgia.
Lee announced the news from Mission Viejo, streaming live from his Instagram account.
“He can smother an opposing receiver at the line of scrimmage and is very good in press coverage,” 247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins wrote in his Lee scouting report. “He has good feet and change of direction for a big cornerback and is rarely beaten up top. He can get in and out of his breaks and gets his hands on a lot of balls. He’s physical in run support and isn’t afraid to go downhill and put a big hit on a running back. He is also an intelligent and energetic player. »
Lee finished his junior season at Mission Viejo with 55 tackles, including 22 solo tackles. He also contributed two interceptions and 13 pass breakups.
The 6-foot-4, 190-pound Lee is listed as the No. 4 2025 corner nationally on the 247 composite. The service ranks him as the best player in California’s class, 22nd in the nation.
Lee became the 20th commitment in Alabama’s 2025 class. He is the second recruit at cornerback, joining four-star Chuck McDonald, also from California.
He became the second five-star player in the class according to the 247 composite rankings. Linebacker Darrell “Duke” Johnson was the first.
