Alabama cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. has consistently found himself at the center of attention on social media over the course of the 2026 season. 

Lee most notably had a sideline interaction with Kalen DeBoer and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix during Alabama’s 20-17 loss to Georgia. The cornerback was visibly frustrated while speaking with DeBoer, and Clinton-Dix was essentially the middle man during the encounter. 

Lee took a moment to speak on the interaction earlier today, as the cornerback claims Clinton-Dix has helped him on numerous occasions throughout his time at Alabama. 

“Not even the last month, just the last year and a half.” Lee said. “Me being here, Ha Ha has been like my big brother to be honest. He helps me through everything, he’s really smart, I mean he’s been through it. He’s been in my shoes before, so he’s just taught me a lot. Keep my composure, at the end of the day it is what it is, you can’t go back to it. Just learn from your mistakes is pretty much what he was telling me.”

Lee has begun playing better football as of late, but his interaction with DeBoer and Clinton-Dix during the Georgia game certainly caught the attention of Crimson Tide fans on social media. The sophomore cornerback has dealt with constant adversity across 2026, and Clinton-Dix appears to be mentoring the talented defensive back through his hard times over the course of year two.
