University of Pittsburgh fifth-year wide receiver Censere Lee was named to the 2026 Comeback Player of the Year Award Mid-Season Watch List. The announcement was made Monday by College Sports Communicators in association with The Associated Press and the Fiesta Sports Foundation. Lee is among 38 college football student-athletes under consideration for the award, which recognizes players who have overcome injury, illness or other difficult circumstances. He was previously named to the honor’s preseason watch list in August. After injuries limited his availability during his first two years at Pittsburgh, Lee has played in all nine games this season. He has recorded 24 receptions for 267 yards and four touchdowns, ranking second on the team in touchdown catches and third in both receptions and receiving yards. His production has helped the Panthers build a 6-3 overall record and a 3-3 mark in ACC play following a 34-11 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday. Lee’s 2026 numbers already exceed his combined scoring output from his first two seasons with the Panthers, during which he totaled 24 catches for 340 yards and three touchdowns.
