Jarrett Lee

Against Troy University, Lee led the largest comeback in LSU history taking an LSU team that trailed 31 to 3 in the 3rd quarter and scoring 37 unanswered points.

An ankle injury ended Jarrett's season against Ole Miss, accounting for his fourth loss of the season.

For the season, Lee threw an NCAA leading 7 interceptions that were returned for touchdowns.

However, as one of only three freshman quarterbacks who have started more than six games for LSU, Lee put together one of the most prolific seasons for a freshman quarterback in LSU history, throwing for 1,873 yards and 14 touchdowns, second behind true freshman Tommy Hodson for yards and touchdowns.

He finished with 6,182 career passing yards and 78 total touchdowns, more than doubling the previous record of 2,217 yards by Chip Matejowsky from 1985 through 1987.

His 72 career touchdown passes eclipsed Charles Proske's next-best 28, and he is first and second for Brenham's single-season completion, attempt, touchdown, and passing yardage records.

Most recruiting experts considered Lee one of the top three quarterback prospects in Texas, besides Ryan Mallett of Texas High School in Texarkana, Texas, and Brock Mansion of Episcopal School of Dallas.

Recruiting analyst Tom Lemming compared Lee to former Sam Houston State quarterback Rhett Bomar.

Calen Jarrett Lee (born June 2, 1989) is a former American football quarterback.

Lee had more than 30 scholarship offers from Division I schools, and chose to attend LSU over Nebraska, Kansas State, Oklahoma, and others on May 30, 2006.

Lee was the third-string quarterback at LSU behind then-senior Matt Flynn and redshirted sophomore Ryan Perrilloux.

Considering his age, Lee redshirted for the 2007 season.

For the 2008 season, junior Ryan Perrilloux was projected to be the starting quarterback for LSU, but he was dismissed from the team for breaking team rules.

Andrew Hatch started the first three games as quarterback, but was injured in the third game against Auburn.

Beginning with the fourth game (Mississippi State), Lee started eight games as quarterback, compiling a 4–4 record.

Three of the losses came against teams that were ranked #1 at some point during the year.

LSU's national rank in passing offense dropped from 71st in 2008 to 97th in 2009 with the replacing of Lee as the starter.

In his only start of the 2009 season, Lee completed 7-of-22 (32%) passes in a homecoming game win against Louisiana Tech, a member of the Western Athletic Conference.

For the season, he completed 16-of-40 (40%) passes for 197 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

LSU had a 11–2 season in 2010.

Although Lee did not start any games, he was called on to lead game-winning drives against Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn.

He drove LSU down to the 2 yard line against Tennessee, threw a game-winning touchdown pass against Florida, but failed against Auburn.

Against Alabama, he completed a critical 3rd down pass.

For the season, Lee completed 54 of 89 (61%) passes for 573 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception.

After the conclusion of his junior season, Lee had appeared in 30 career games, and he had passed for 2,643 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Although LSU's national rank in passing was 107th, LSU's national rank in rushing was 28th.

Lee had the second longest streak of consecutive passes thrown without an interception among all LSU quarterbacks, lasting from the fifth game in the 2010 season to the third game in the 2011 season.

Despite Lee's commendable performance for most of the season, Lee was pulled for his poor performance in the November game against Alabama.

Lee finished the game 3 of 7 (43%) for 24 yards with 2 interceptions and a passer rating of 14.5.

Lee was 2 of 2 for 19 yards when Jefferson was substituted for Lee to pick up a third and one on the fifth play of the game.

Lee began the 2011 season as the starting quarterback because Jordan Jefferson was suspended for the first four games of the season.

In the season opener against #3 Oregon, Lee helped lead LSU to a 40–27 victory although completing only 10 of 22 (45%) passes for less than 100 yards.

Lee went on to lead the team to a 49–3 victory over Northwestern State, a 19–6 victory over Mississippi State, and a 47–21 victory over West Virginia before Jefferson was reinstated to the team.

Lee continued to start, and win, for several more games, and fans were impressed with Lee's steady performance and leadership of the team.

He was signed by the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2012.

He played college football at LSU.

Lee started his high school football career at Brownwood High School in Brownwood, Texas, where he completed 98-of-168 passes for 1,700 yards and 18 touchdowns operating out of a one-back offense.

He also rushed for 250 yards and four touchdowns.

Prior to his junior season, Lee transferred to Brenham High School as his father, Stephen, took a job on the staff as the wide receiver coach.

Lee holds every major season and career passing record in Brenham High School football history.
