There was some true freshman vs. true freshman violence late in the first quarter of LSU’s spring game on Saturday.
With Baton Rouge native [autotag]Rickie Collins[/autotag] — a mobile passer who was not wearing a red non-contact jersey — under center, [autotag]Whit Weeks[/autotag] made a play on a questionably thrown ball.
After bobbling it momentarily, he secured the interception. Forty yards later, Weeks reached paydirt as he gave the defense a 14-7 lead.
The four-star early enrollee from Watkinsville, Georgia, is the younger brother of his teammate and fellow linebacker [autotag]West Weeks[/autotag], who joined as a transfer from Virginia last season.
Whit finds himself a bit buried on the depth chart in the linebacker group, but with plays like this, he could see some early playing time this fall.
