The job of playing Mike linebacker for Alabama football requires the physical and mental maturity of a man. Crimson Tide, true freshman, Shane Lee is only 17 – an age not often associated with manhood.
The phrase ‘age is only a number’ is often used by those well past middle age to explain they are not done yet. If it applies to the older among us, then maybe it should also apply to the younger.
Don’t let the 17 number fool you. Shane Lee is wiser than his age indicates. He is no ordinary, blue-chip freshman for whom adjusting to the demands of college life and college football can be overwhelming.
