LSU commit listed as Week 1 standout by On3

Whit Weeks is already making plays during his senior season.

[autotag]Whit Weeks[/autotag] is a four-star, 6-foot-2, 205-pound linebacker from Watkinsville, Georgia, where he plays for Oconee County High School. Weeks did it all for the Warriors in their 33-9 win over Clarke Central, earning him the honor of On3 Week 1 standouts.

He is listed as a middle linebacker prospect by multiple recruiting sites, but on the field for the Warriors, he does it all. Weeks had a 99-yard kickoff return touchdown, 94 rushing yards, 12 receiving yards, two rushing touchdowns, 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, one sack and two pass breakups.

He was all over the field on both ends of the ball as well as on special teams. That kind of production could get him playing time early at LSU. Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has to like what he’s seen so far from Weeks this season.

Weeks is one of LSU’s 21 commits for the 2023 recruiting class, which ranks as the No. 7 class in the country.

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to Oconee County linebacker Whit Weeks. Weeks is a three-star prospect in the class of 2023.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound linebacker has offers from top college football programs, including LSU, Utah, Oklahoma, Stanford and USC.

Weeks’ older brother, West, is transferring to LSU for the 2022 college football season. West Weeks began his college football career at Virginia.

Whit Weeks announced his offer from the University of Georgia via his Twitter account:

Kirby Smart and Georgia have the top-ranked class of 2023 in the country. UGA has commitments from eight four-stars and one three-star in the junior class.

Georgia linebackers coach and co-defensive coordinator Glenn Schumann is one of the top recruiters and developers in the country. Schumann helped Roquan Smith and Nakobe Dean become elite linebackers. Schumann and Will Muschamp are still looking to add Georgia’s first commitment from a linebacker in the class of 2023.

Virginia linebacker West Weeks announces transfer to LSU

LSU adds another transfer, does it help in pursuit of a certain 2023 prospect?

Virginia linebacker transfer West Weeks has announced he will transfer to LSU. Weeks is a three-star prospect from Virginia 2021 class. He decided to go to Virginia over Colorado, Ole Miss, South Carolina, and others.

Weeks played 11 games for Virginia as a true freshman and compiled 31 total tackles and one sack. He also had five passes defended. Unfortunately, weeks suffered a broken leg in the last game against Virginia Tech.

Weeks is the ninth UVA player to transfer to another program since the end of the season, and 11 more players remain in the transfer portal.

Linebacker is a position of need for the Tigers, with Damone Clark moving on to the NFL. Over the past week, LSU had added six transfer players and now has eight total transfers. LSU has also extended an offer to Whit Weeks, West’s younger brother in the class of 2023. The younger Weeks plays for Oconee County, the same school that produced former starting quarterback Max Johnson.

Weeks looks like a linebacker that can do a little beat of everything, rush the passer, is solid against the and even does well in pass defense. He should do well under new defensive coordinator Matt House.

The Tigers have been hitting the transfer portal hard, looking to upgrade their roster to compete next season. LSU has many new talents coming in and players with high football IQ. With a new and improved coaching staff, the Tigers should be fun to watch for years to come.
