After Tyler Lee spent the offseason in the weight room and working hard to improve, Guilford Park High School football coach Tom Montag expected his junior running back to take a step forward. But as the regular season enters the final few weeks, it is safe to say that no one quite expected Lee to dominate the way he has.<\/p>\n

Lee carried 27 times for 201 yards and three touchdowns this past week and scored a pair of two-point conversions as undefeated Guilford Park continued its terrific season by rallying from a 10-point deficit to beat Glenelg, 28-16.<\/p>\n

It was Lee’s sixth 200-yard performance in seven games and the sixth time he has scored at least three touchdowns in a game.<\/p>\n

“Nobody expects a kid to rush for 200 yards in a game, that’s wild to see,” Montag said. “I thought he was going to have a good year, but I had no idea what that meant. It’s definitely surprising to see week in and week out dominant performances.”<\/p>\n

For his efforts, Lee was named the Military Bowl Touchdown Club High School Football Player of the Week.<\/p>\n

It has been a special season so far this fall at Guilford Park, which opened in August 2023, played its first varsity football game last year and now has its first senior class.<\/p>\n

Lee, who is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs 190 pounds, attended Meade Senior High School as a freshman before transferring to Guilford Park. He rushed for 444 yards and averaged about four yards per carry last year as the Panthers went 5-5.<\/p>\n

Lee added about 15 pounds of muscle during the offseason and he also developed into one of the team’s leaders. Without a full complement of students until this year, not only was playing time available for younger players, but there also was a need for leadership.<\/p>\n

Enter Lee, who has rushed for 1,389 yards and 22 touchdowns already this season.<\/p>\n

“As we’ve grown older as a program, more of our younger athletes are stepping up into leadership roles. What’s it like to be a leader on a high school football team,” Montag said. “Tyler has been consistently working hard and it shows up on Friday nights.”<\/p>\n
