Whit Weeks Primed to Roar as All-American Contender
LSU’s veteran linebacker Whit Weeks returns in 2026 as a team captain under new head coach Lane Kiffin. Known for his fierce leadership and “nasty mentality,” Weeks posted 125 tackles in 2024 en route to First Team All-SEC honors. Fully healthy after battling injuries, he teams up with safety Ty Benefield in a defense poised to challenge every opponent. Over 32 games, Weeks has amassed 205 tackles, five sacks, and 16.5 tackles for loss, and now aims to lead LSU’s defense back to its dominant 2010s form and earn All-American status.
LSU fans, brace yourselves: Weeks dating the coach’s daughter is reportedly “no big deal,” because nothing screams professionalism like Friday night dinner with your boss’s family. After all, what could possibly distract a linebacker more than juggling a budding romance with the head coach’s offspring? Between mastering defensive calls and politely nodding at awkward Thanksgiving toasts, Weeks clearly thrives under pressure. If he tackles as well off the field as he does on it, All-American honors should be in his future—assuming Mom-in-law approval doesn’t come with a caveat.
