JACKSON, Mississippi -- Alonzo Lee, one of the best defensive minds in Division I Football Championship Subdivision (formerly known as I-AA), has been named by head football coach Harold Jackson as Jackson State's defensive coordinator on Monday.

“I am excited to welcome Alonzo Lee as our new defensive coordinator,” said Jackson. “His years of championship level experience will make him a tremendous addition to our staff.”

Over his career, Lee has proven that defense wins championships and he has won seven MEAC titles at four different schools. At two of the schools – North Carolina A&T and Hampton – Lee served as the defensive coordinator.

Lee has been defensive coordinator at Morgan State (2011-12, 2007-09), North Carolina A&T (2003-06), and Hampton (1997-03). During his first stint as defensive coordinator at Morgan State, Lee defenses ranked among the top two in the FCS. In 2008, the Bears led the nation in total defense.
