He did not advance to the finals. Lee is an incredible athlete and was recently listed at No. 5 on CBS Sports writer Bruce Feldman's "freak list." He and Sammy Watkins could battle it out for the top receiver ranking, however, both have another season of eligibility remaining after this year. May 24 - 10:15 AM

There was talk of Lee attempting to convince coaches to allow him to play some cornerback last season. The vertical receiver ranks No. 5 on Feldman's "Freak List." USC receiver coach Tee Martin added "He's gotta be in the top five of the most freakish athletes I've ever been around."

USC sophomore WR Marqise Lee's injury that forced him out of the school's scrimmage does not appear to be serious.

Lee was in uniform and participated in warmups, but was working to the side with other injured teammates during on-field portions of practice. We do not expect him to miss significant time.

After leaving Saturday's practice with an injury, USC sophomore WR Marqise Lee is in pads and will play in Monday's bowl game.

Head coach Lane Kiffin remained optimistic that Lee would play, and the injury appears to have been minor. Starting quarterback Max Wittek has a big arm, so expect some vertical shots to Lee against Georgia Tech's secondary.

Marqise Lee - WR - Trojans

Scouts Inc.'s Todd McShay does not believe USC's erratic history at WR will hold back sophomore Marqise Lee's pro evaluation.

McShay was asked about Dwayne Jarrett and Mike Williams, and if NFL team's will consider those two busts when evaluating Lee. He answered that the sophomore is a different type of receiver, one that can separate with quickness and not size. McShay did cite the Oregon game as one contest where Lee struggled against press coverage, but the Trojan ended up getting the last laugh.

ESPN's Brett McMurphy reported that USC sophomore WR Marqise Lee may see snaps at FS against Arizona State.

Earlier in the week, head coach Lane Kiffin suggested Lee may see snaps on defense, but it was believed to be at cornerback. Also, many suggested that question was planted, so take it with a grain of salt.

In his Thursday press conference, USC head coach Lane Kiffin said that sophomore WR Marqise Lee was seeing practice time ont he defensive side of the ball this week.

Kiffin added that Lee "could see time there on Saturday." Beat writer Pedro Moura astutely noted that a school staff writer asked the question which led to Kiffin's answer, so the question was likely planted. For what purpose? Who knows, but Lee had been rumored to possibly see time at cornerback earlier in the season.

Marqise Lee - WR - Trojans

USC sophomore WR Marqise Lee caught 16 passes for 345 yards and one touchdown Saturday against Arizona.

That yardage total is both a school and conference total. Lee is the best wide receiver in college football, but is obviously not draft-eligible. His ability to stretch the field vertically, create space at the catch point, and break away after the catch is amazing.

Marqise Lee - WR - Trojans

USC sophomore WR Marqise Lee carried the Trojans passing attack, catching 12 passes for 192 yards and one touchdown in Thursday's game against Utah.

Just let him enter the NFL Draft already. Lee is so deadly on vertical routes and possesses elusive to make tacklers miss after the catch. He and quarterback Matt Barkley connected on a 83 yard strike, where Lee adjusted and ran under a lob downfield. We believe he is the best receiver in college football.

USC's Marqise Lee was 13-224-2 in a 50-0 win over UCLA.

Marqise Lee - WR - Trojans

USC freshman receiver Marqise Lee had a season-high 9 receptions and 2 TDs in a 42-17 win at Colorado.

Lee also had 124 yards, which was his second-highest output behind the 144 he had against Arizona on Oct. 1. Lee gives opposing defenses somebody other than Robert Woods with which to concern themselves. While Woods is one of the top receivers in the country, Lee is more than just an alternate choice. Four times this season he has caught at least five passes to go with his pair of 100-yard games. On the season, the freshman is 43-658-7 -- numbers that would lead many teams.
