Boris Lee:  I am 6’0, 245 pounds and I run a 4.6 forty.
 

Alex Khvatov:  Why did you choose Troy coming out of high school?

Boris Lee:  Well coming out of high school, I told myself that I would sign with the first school that would offer me a scholarship.  Troy was the school to offer me first.  I came for a visit and I fell in love with the place, the coaches and the staff.  I felt comfortable here. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  You exploded onto the scene as a true freshman for Troy, what has this university meant to you personally?

Boris Lee:  It means a lot to me.  This university gave me an opportunity.  When I came in as a freshman and started.  That meant a lot to me.  They believed in my ability to go out there and contribute. 
 

Alex Khvatov:  Describe your junior season for us.

Boris Lee:  It was exciting.  We won a lot of games.  We won a lot of home games.  Overall team wise, we did great.  We accomplished a lot of goals.  I was able to lead the team in a lot of stats.  It meant a lot to me.  Also we were able to go to the Bowl game.   

Alex Khvatov:  You led the team in tackles last season, what can we expect from you this year?

Boris Lee:  Of course, I have higher goals than what I accomplished last season.  I have set my bar pretty high.

Alex Khvatov:  What can we expect from Troy this season?

Boris Lee:  You can expect an exciting defense, where we will always give it 100%.  We will pursue the ball on every play, make plays and look out for each other.  When we line up, it is like going to war with us.  We are like that.

Alex Khvatov:  What is the highlight of your career thus far?

Boris Lee:  I would have to go back to my freshman year.  I caught an interception.  I was running it back and got knocked out by an opposing player at the one yard line.  That was a highlight for me.  I felt like I am here and that I have arrived.  I felt like I belonged after that.  I was comfortable to take my game to the next level. 

Alex Khvatov:  What separates you from all of the other LB's in the country? 

Boris Lee:  Honestly, I think what separates me would be my ability to cover and run with receivers.  I feel that I can run with the fastest receivers out there and cover them like a person in the secondary.

Alex Khvatov:  Boris, what does it take to be a leader?

Boris Lee:  You have to work and handle yourself on and off-the-field.  You have to know that everyone is watching.  Your teammates look up to you and see how you handle yourself in different situations.  The young guys look at everything you do.  You may not know it, but they are watching.  You have to set an example every day.   

Alex Khvatov:  What do you consider your strengths as a player?

Boris Lee:  I have already said that my coverage ability.  I am a pretty good sideline to sideline player.  I get to the ball carrier.  I get off blocks.  I am a ball hawk.   

Alex Khvatov:   What is the one area of your game that you need to improve upon?

Boris Lee:  Sometimes I need to read and react to a play a lot quicker.  I can be too aggressive at times on run plays and get fooled on play-action.

Alex Khvatov:   Describe your teammates Bear Woods and Brandon Lang on and off-the field.

Boris Lee:   Bear Woods is like my other half.  He is my twin brother.  He is a great guy.  He is a good friend.  Brandon Lang is also a great guy off the field.  They carry themselves very well.  I know when I need anything, I can call them and they will be there for me.  I am very honored to be their friend and their teammate.

Alex Khvatov:  Which underclassmen on your team should we keep an eye on this season?

Boris Lee:  CB Brandon Lucas and DL Eugene Kinlaw.

Alex Khvatov:  Who is your favorite player? 

Boris Lee:  Terrell Owens is my favorite player.  We all know that he gets himself in trouble with the comments that he makes off-the-field.  But this guy shows up every week.  He does it every week.  He backs up his talk.  His playing ability is amazing.  He has overcome a lot in his career especially with everything that has been said about him in the media.  He performs and I respect him for that.  I have always dreamed about being a receiver.  I was a receiver in high school, but I became a LB here at Troy.    

Alex Khvatov:  What is your favorite NFL team?

Boris Lee:  The 49ers.  Well when I was young, I watched when they played in the Super Bowl in 93 or 94 season against the Chargers.  That was a great team with Steve Young and Jerry Rice. 

Alex Khvatov:  Are the 49ers a playoff team this season?

Boris Lee:  They will be a tough team this season.  I think that they are a playoff team.

Alex Khvatov:  What do you think of the whole Michael Crabtree situation?

Boris Lee:  I don’t know him personally, so I can’t judge him.  I have no comment on it.  It’s a shame about the whole situation with him holding out.  I know personally that I love this game, and money is not important to me. 

Alex Khvatov:  What are your hobbies?

Boris Lee:  I am a big brother.  I mentor and help out kids.  I lift weights.  I like to catch a movie.  Most of the time, I sit around and watch TV.  I am a really low key guy. 

Alex Khvatov:  What do you plan to do with your life after your football career is over?   

Boris Lee:  I also wanted to go to Canada.  Hopefully I go to Canada after my long career in the NFL is over.  I plan on helping kids around my hometown.  I want to open up a Boys and Girls Club someday.  I love kids.
