Early life
Ghee attended Jack Britt High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he was named all-state as a cornerback and all-region as a wide receiver. He also helped Jack Britt to the state championship game and scored two touchdowns in that contest.
Considered a three-star recruit by Rivals.com, Ghee was listed as the No. 28 cornerback prospect in the nation in 2005.[1] He chose Wake Forest over offers from Clemson, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia Tech.

Ghee redshirted his initial season at Wake Forest, and did not participate in any team activities the following season because of academic reasons.
