Key Losses
Fortunately for Coach Dean Fabrizio and his Lee County team, graduation losses were minimal. But there are a few key players whose presence will be missed this season, including speedy WR Jevell Fugerson, who was a major weapon in the Lee County passing attack. He received several offers to continue his football career at the next level before deciding on the University of Buffalo. Fugerson was a three-year starter who finished his career with more than 130 career receptions for over 2,500 career yards and 22 TDs.
All-Region DB Kason Hooks has moved on to Army after a stellar career at Lee County that saw him pull down 7 career interceptions and record 30 PBUs. He also had 2 TDs while patrolling the Lee County defensive backfield. The offensive line will miss Kaden Schlegel, who was a big-time force up front for Lee County. He has graduated.
Who’s Back
Several starters on both sides of the ball will return in 2023, starting with one of the best running backs in the state, Ousmane Kromah. The ITG Next Georgia Offensive Player of the Year for 2021 and 2022 will return for his junior season, and he provides Lee County with a breakaway threat every time he touches the ball. He is also a terrific kick returner for the Trojans. Kromah has rushed for over 3,800 yards and 38 TDs the last two seasons.
Quarterback Weston Bryan, who took over as starter in the second half of the season, will be back as the starting QB from day one. RB/WR Braxton Honer returns to give Lee County a two-way threat offensively. Offensive linemen Kyle Greene and Angel Fausto will be back to provide run and pass blocking up front for the Trojans. Other key pieces include ATH Devin Collier, FS/WR Tion Garmon, LB Jace Angry, and DL Tion Garmon – and that’s just a few names; there are many more.
What to Expect
This 2023 Lee County football team will be one of Class 6A’s deepest and most talented squads, with just about everybody returning on both sides of the ball at its key positions. Weston Bryan showed that he is much more than capable at leading the Lee County offense, and he’ll have a chance to thrive as teams try to focus their efforts on shutting down Ousmane Kromah.
Dean Fabrizio has shown what he can do when he has the talent to work with and boy does he have talent on this 2023 Trojans team. Devin Collier will be back, and he gives Lee County a three-way weapon as a RB, DB, and kick returner. Look out for Lee in 2023.
Prediction
12 wins should be expected. Playing 15 games is very likely, too – that would mean Lee County playing for a state title. The Trojans will be a favorite to win it all this year in Class 6A.
Game to Watch
Lee County at Northside WR at McConnell Talbert Stadium on October 20 will be one not to miss.
