Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Lee moved to New Albany, Ohio during his eighth grade and attended New Albany High School, where he played as a quarterback, wide receiver, safety and return specialist and led his team to an appearance in the state semifinals as a senior, where they lost to Trotwood-Madison High School, 33-32. In his junior year, Lee helped the Eagles compile a 9-3 record, as the regional semifinalist also captured the Ohio Capital Conference title. As a senior, Lee concentrated on quarterback and secondary duties, helping lead the Eagles to an 11-3 record, including a 7-0 mark as the Division II State Final Four choice captured the regional and Ohio Capital Conference titles.
