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. He was a full-time starter in 2009. Lester's play at Snow lead him to earn a scholarship offer from the University of Wyoming. He finished his career at Wyoming with five catches.
