Damien Lee 6'3 235 LBS DE Reidsville HS

Reidsville defensive end Damien Lee signed with the Tribe on National Signing Day, despite Catawba returning all ten defensive linemen from last year's 6-4 team.

Lee may be joining a standing-room only defensive line as a freshman, but his mark will be left at Catawba once his career is all said and done.

The 6'3 235 pound pass rusher was one of the state's rare MVP's of a state championship game, earning the honors after Reidsville capped an undefeated 16-0 season with a dominating 24-7 win over East Lincoln.
In the championship victory, Lee recorded 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks, and made life miserable for East Lincoln star quarterback Josh Wilson.

"Damien is a playmaker at the defensive end spot," noticed Hester. "He was the MVP of the state championship game for Reidsville. He is someone that stood out every time you watched film on him."

During his senior campaign, Lee was honored as a 2008 NCPreps.com 2A all-state pick after totaling 108 tackles, eight sacks, and four fumble recoveries.
