AUSTIN, Texas — Texas women's basketball signee Jordan Lee was announced as one of 25 selections to the Jersey Mike's Naismith Trophy Girl's High School Player of the Year Midseason Team on Tuesday.
Lee, a 6-0 guard from Stockton, Calif., is the No. 8 ranked recruit in the 2024 class by ESPN. Lee averaged 20.1 points per game, 2.7 assists per game and 7.4 rebounds per game in the 2022-23 season and earned First Team All-State honors. Lee was a 2022-23 First Team Junior All-American and her team was the 2022-23 Norcal D1 GBB runner-up. Lee earned MVP honors at the 2022 Curry Camp. Lee also exceled in track and field as a two-time USA Junior Nationals Track and Field All-American. Lee won back-to-back 1600-meter and 800-meter state championships on the track. Lee also achieved academically at Saint Mary's high school with a 4.4 GPA and membership in the National Honor Society.
In five games this season, Lee is averaging 25.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.2 steals per game. Lee, along with the Longhorns other two signees, Justice Carlton and Bryanna Preston were selected as McDonalds All-American nominees.
"Jordan Lee is an incredibly talented, big guard who can score at all three levels and can defend 1 through 4," Texas head coach Vic Schaefer said on signing day. "Her toughness and competitive spirit on both ends of the floor are off the chart. She possesses a great basketball IQ, understands the game and is a tireless worker. She is a gym rat. She's constantly working on her game. She has a sister playing at Sacramento State and her father was an assistant coach at Pan American University. Jordan played for Armando Pazos on Jason Kidd Select and won The Select 40 Championship this past summer. She wants to be a doctor one day, and the resources that we have here at The University of Texas combined with the medical school, will prepare her for that endeavor as well."
