College career
Lester began his college career at Snow College, as a defensive back and played a great deal as a true freshman on a National Champion-Runner Up team. Following his freshman season, he moved to wide receiver with the foreknowledge that he would need to redshirt based on the depth that was already in place at that position. In 2009, DeJay was an outstanding player Snow College. He was a great leader at his position group and played with the attitude and toughness that any coach would desire. He was a full-time starter and a great player but maintained his humility and work ethic necessary to be great. Lester's play at Snow lead him to earn a scholarship offer from the University of Wyoming.
