Background
HERD FILE: Lester has an array of ways to make plays on the ball, as was evidenced by his block of a punt just a couple weeks ago. Lester was a three-time MaxPreps Player of the Week. Decided to choose Marshall over offers from Troy, Southern Miss, Georgia Southern, Buffalo, Miami (Ohio) and Toledo.
