Alabama cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. has struggled over the course of his sophomore campaign in 2026.
A former five star recruit, Lee was nothing short of elite in the Tide’s secondary across 2025 but has since struggled to follow up with a promising season in year two. The sophomore has played at a much higher level in recent weeks, however, and Lee took a moment to comment on what he’s learned from his struggles earlier in the year following practice on Tuesday.
“Just how to fight adversity.” Lee said. “I came in last year, had a good year. Started off this year a little rough, you know, just fight through it.”
Lee has recorded 31 total tackles in addition to two interceptions and one forced fumble in 2026. The sophomore will continue playing a critical role in the Tide’s secondary throughout the remainder of the season, and Lee appears to be trending in the right direction following his comments earlier today.
