College career

Magee redshirted his freshman season in 2015 after a foot injury in practice. When Magee arrived at LSU, he acquired the reputation as a jokester who sometimes fell asleep in practice. Since he rarely played, he impersonated opponents on the scout team. He played in three games as redshirt freshman in 2016.

After being reinstated to the football team, Magee earned his first start as a sophomore against Auburn and became a part of the rotation. He earned the nickname "Jiggly Puff".

He finished the season starting four games in three different positions, playing one game each at left and right tackle and two starts at left guard after Garrett Brumfield was hurt.

By the start of preseason practice in 2019, Magee competed with Chasen Hines for the starting role at left guard, splitting time in the first game and Magee starting every game since. In the matchup against Vanderbilt, Magee made a double pancake block that went viral. Magee was named to the Second Team All-SEC as a senior.
