Five-star CB commit Dijon Lee updates his Alabama commitment status as Kirby Smart's Georgia intensifies flipping effort

Five-star prospect Dijon Lee was initially expected to play a different defensive position, but his transformation into one of the nation’s top-rated cornerbacks has been remarkable. He committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide on June 28.

According to Steve Wiltfong of On3, Georgia has been pursuing Lee and hoping to sway him to flip his Alabama commitment. However, he remains firm in his decision and said that he is "locked in" with the team.

On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has Alabama with a 94.8% chance of holding on to Lee. The Bulldogs already have two CBs committed in the 2025 class: Jontae Gilbert and Shamari Earls.

However, the recruitment landscape can be unpredictable. On Saturday, Lee made a trip to Georgia to watch the Bulldogs (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) face Mississippi State and witnessed their 41-31 victory.

Meanwhile, Alabama (5-1, 2-1) was upset by Vanderbilt 40-35 on Oct. 5 before narrowly winning against South Carolina 27-25 on Saturday.

However, Smart's coaching style is reminiscent of Saban’s, which could be appealing to Lee. An immediate flip isn’t expected, but Georgia remains a threat to Alabama in retaining Lee's pledge.

Dijon Lee sets Texas A&M visit next month

Dijon Lee has been on the radar of Texas A&M coach Mike Elko and defensive coordinator Jay Bateman for nearly a year now. He is set to visit the school on Nov. 30 during its rivalry matchup against the Texas Longhorns in College Station, per Rivals' recruiting analyst Landyn Rosow.

The Aggies are 5-1 this season and remain undefeated in the Southeastern Conference (3-0). This on-field success has translated into impressive recruiting efforts, as the 2025 class features 22 commitments.

Standing at nearly 6-foot-4, Lee's length sets him apart from other CBs in the nation. His height gives him a distinct advantage in covering taller receivers and his athleticism enhances his ability to disrupt plays in the secondary.

Last season, Lee played a big role in leading Mission Viejo High School (California) to the CIF championship game, although the program ultimately lost to powerhouse St. John Bosco. Like Georgia, Texas A&M will also look to secure his commitment during his upcoming visit.
