On the field, Lee has started 27 consecutive games at defensive tackle, where he has compiled 103 tackles, including 13 tackles for loss, and six sacks. In 2022, Lee was an honorable mention All-Big Ten selection by both the coaches and media after finishing with a career-high 54 tackles and eight tackles for loss.

Iowa has won 34 games since Lee arrived on campus, won a Big Ten West Division title and two bowl games — 2019 Holiday Bowl and 2022 Music City Bowl.

Leading into the 2023 season, Lee is a preseason second-team All-Big Ten selection by Phil Steele and a preseason third-team All-Big Ten honoree by Athlon Sports.

The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team is one of the most coveted community service awards in college football. From the 135 nominees, the final roster of 23 award recipients will bring together 11 players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision; 11 players from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III, and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA); and one honorary head coach. To be considered for a spot on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, each player must be actively involved with a charitable organization or service group while maintaining strong academic standing.
