Lee, who transferred from UCF before the 2023 season, anchored the Hurricanes’ offensive line for a season, and now he is going to the NFL. The Cincinnati Bengals picked Lee with the 237th pick in the seventh round of the draft on Saturday.
Lee was the third Hurricane to be picked in this year’s draft, following safety Kam Kinchens and cornerback Jaden Davis.

Harden was a solid player for the Patriots, earning a Sun Sentinel All-County honorable mention in 2018 and first-team honors in 2019.
Jaden Davis spent one season with his hometown Hurricanes, and that vaulted him into the professional ranks.
The Arizona Cardinals picked Davis, who is a St. Thomas Aquinas alum, with the 226th pick in the seventh round of the NFL draft on Saturday. Davis is the second Hurricane picked in this year’s draft, following safety Kam Kinchens.
Davis was a standout for the powerhouse Raiders, earning Super 11 and first-team All-County honors.
