Former Lakeland two-way lineman Justin Kee caught his first collegiate interception Saturday in Winston-Salem State’s 49-3 win over Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte.

Kee, a freshman defensive lineman for WSSU, made the interception and a 7-yard return in the fourth quarter of the rout. Kee, at 6-foot-2 and 320 pounds, has played in four games this season, getting two tackles and a pass deflection.

The Rams are 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the CIAA (Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association). Only two opponents, North Carolina A&T and North Carolina Central, have stayed within a one-possession margin of the Rams. WSSU hosts St. Augustine’s this Saturday.
