Top JUCO Edge Includes WVU Football in Final Group

Looking to take his talents to high level, Jekai Lee included the WVU football program among his final four teams.

Lee, currently a standout edge rusher at Buttler Community College in Portsmouth, Va., showed West Virginia along with Auburn, Kansas State and Mississippi State.

Listed at 6-foot-7 and 280 pounds, Lee is rated as one of the five best defensive lineman, both in the state and nationally, for his transfer class.

According to Lee’s own post on X (fomerly Twitter) from Nov. 11, he recorded 40 total tackles, 15 tackles for a loss and six sacks during the 2026 season. He also said he received over 20 offers before reducing his list to the current four. Kansas and Virginia Tech were cut from being in the running.

West Virginia sent Lee an offer on Sept. 10.
