FAMU transfer looks for stability

The knock on the hotel door at 2 a.m. startled Clay Lee, who was having trouble sleeping as he and relatives wondered how much damage Hurricane Katrina did to their home. "Somebody was telling us everybody must evacuate; the levee has breached," Lee said, recalling how the hurricane uprooted he and his mother. "Soon as we heard that we got all of our things together and we left."

Lee, a linebacker who recently transferred from the University of Memphis to Florida A&M, has been trying to find stability since Katrina struck New Orleans almost five years ago. Since the storm, he lived briefly in Houston before settling in Orlando.

The move to FAMU, he said, could be the first step to living a more stabled life. He left the Tigers' program in hopes of more playing time, but more importantly he wants to get a degree in criminal justice, he said.
