They spent nearly every day together on campus, whether it was grabbing food at the student center, or arguing over draft picks. Their bond grew stronger each semester, fueled by countless debates, victory royales, and conversations about life, dreams, and everything in between. 9 years later, not much has changed. They still do the same things they used to. Their friendship has matured, but the core remains the same two people who push each other. Lee holds himself to an incredibly high standard, and that commitment has always inspired Jordan to aim higher and work harder in his own life. They celebrate each other’s wins and they offer support when things don’t go as planned. Through every high and low. Lee isn’t just a friend; he’s family. A dependable, loyal, and motivating presence who’s proven, time and time again, that he’s in it for the long haul. Simply put, Lee is a lifetime friend.
