Going into the 2023 football season, LSU Wire will be looking at each player listed on the Tigers’ roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for Brian Kelly this season.
We’re looking at one of the more exciting true freshmen on the roster in [autotag]Whit Week[/autotag]s, who joins his brother [autotag]West Weeks[/autotag], a transfer addition last offseason from Virginia, in the linebacker corps.

Depth Chart Overview
Sitting just outside the top 150 nationally as a high school prospect, Weeks played all over the field at Oconee County High School in Georgia. He was recruited as a linebacker but also saw action as a running back, receiver and kick returner.
Weeks early enrolled this spring and impressed during the spring game, taking an interception from fellow true freshman [autotag]Rickie Collins[/autotag] 55 yards to the house.
#LSU early-enrollee Whit Weeks was brilliant as a senior at Oconee County in Georgia.
Was a huge get for the Tigers. Finished as a Top 10 LB on @On3sports.
In his first Spring Game, he just hauled in an INT and took it 55 yards for a TD.

Earning a starting spot seems unlikely this fall, but Weeks should play a part in the linebacker rotation along with his brother this fall.
