Dijon Lee never envisioned himself as one of the top defensive backs in the country. In fact, there was a time he was destined to play at a different spot on defense.  “I actually used to play linebacker, but I slimmed out and my grandpa moved me to corner when I was like 10-years old,” Lee said. “I wasn’t really that tall back then. I hit a growth spurt in eighth-grade summer. I'm open to playing safety or anywhere else, but I've come a long way since I played linebacker. I just want to play and help my team win.” Lee finished his junior year at Mission Viejo with 55 tackles, 22 of them solo. He also chipped in with two interceptions and 13 pass breakups. Lee also excels on the track, winning a league championship in the triple jump and competing in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles.
