The 18-year-old earned three medals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics - a gold in the individual all-around, a silver in the team competition and a bronze in the uneven bars.

Lee, a product of St. Paul, Minnesota, has been coached by Jess Graba. His twin brother, Jeff Graba, will be Lee’s coach at Auburn.

Lee is one of four Auburn Olympians to earn three or more medals in the same Olympic Games, joining Kirsty Coventry, Margaret Hoelzer and Rowdy Gaines, according to the university.
