Lee is already closing in on double-digit offers.

But three have already emerged as standouts for him- Alabama, Georgia and Oregon.

Lee has already visited all three, doing so last summer and camped with each.

“Oregon was nice, I really like coach (A’Lique) Terry and I liked it there at Oregon,” said Lee. “At Georgia, coach Kirby (Smart) and coach (Stacy) Searels are really good guys. Alabama, my offer came from the old stuff, but I’ve talked with coach (Scott) Huff when he was at Washington and I’m confident they’ll keep coach (Nick) Saban’s legacy going.”

Texas is another school that has caught his attention, having already offered.

“I know Sili (Tausili Akana) and Liona (Lefau) and they’ve made that move from Hawaii down to Texas and that’s definitely a school of interest for me,” said Lee

Lee said he plans to visit Miami, Michigan and Washington this summer.

“For sure, I’ll be going to Michigan and Washington in the summer and I might go to Miami too,” said Lee.

And schools like Arizona, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah are expected by Kamehameha this month to check in on him.

“It’s funny because I wasn’t really in to the whole college thing growing up, so I didn’t watch a lot of college football, I was always more an NFL guy, so I never had a favorite team, so this is all pretty new to me,” said Lee.

The 6-8, 305-pounder is being recruited as a left tackle but said he’ll play some occasional defense for Kamehameha.

Lee impressed last weekend at the Deestroying Linemen 1on1s and said he’s looking at potentially doing more camps this spring and summer.

Lauderdale (Fla.) Cardinal Gibbons standout Colton Heinrich is one of two tight ends Georgia added in its No. 1 ranked recruiting class for the 2024 cycle. The 6-foot-3.5, 235-pound prospect committed to Georgia over Ohio State, North Carolina, Alabama, and 31 other offers last May.

“As soon as coach Hartley called me and everything, obviously they’re back-to-back national champs with the best tight end in recent history. It grabs your attention,” Heinrich said. “I got up there once or twice, and I knew it was going to be an actual possibility. I fell in love with Coach Hartley, Coach Smart, their whole staff. It was about the second time up there I really knew it was going to be Georgia.”

Watch his three-game senior highlights above. As a senior, Heinrich helped lead Cardinal Gibbons to 9-4 record and a FHSAA Class 2M regional championship appearance, making 31 receptions for 399 yards and three touchdowns. As a junior, he tallied 34 catches for 464 yards and three touchdowns and also handled kickoff return duties, returning five for 69 yards, and earning All-State First Team honors. He was a part of the 2021 state champion team for Cardinal Gibbons and also played basketball for the school.
