Ryals Lee has a longstanding connection with Florida State University. Lee is in his 14th year serving as the football program’s memorabilia coordinator, joining the staff in 2013.
In his current role, he is responsible for coordinating all autograph requests for items signed by coaches. He also takes student-athlete and staff studio headshots, team photos, and game action photos.
Lee is in his 45th year of covering the Seminoles with his camera. He began covering FSU athletics as a freelance photographer in 1982. From 1997-2010, Lee worked in many roles in the FSU Photo Lab, including several years as director. The photo lab, a branch of university communications and university relations, covered photo needs for the entire university.
He has photographed close to 100 sets of first- and second-generation student athletes and thanks to the Mike Martin Family, he is on his first third-generation family.
The Tallahassee native and Leon High School graduate was a kicker for head coach Bobby Bowden’s first two teams in 1976 and 1977.
