PREREGISTER TO PLAY

No purchase necessary. 50 U.S./D.C. 18+. Entry opens 3PM ET Dec 6, 2026 and closes 8PM ET Dec 18, 2026. Void where prohibited.See Official Rules for complete details. The College Football Playoff (CFP) is not a sponsor or administrator of this contest.

Instincts: High-level football IQ. Plays fast, decisive, and aggressive against both run and pass. Sheds would-be blockers with ease when flowing to ball; active arms, hands while engaged. Extremely comfortable dropping into coverage. Anticipatory ball skills as wide receiver translate to defensive backfield. 

Polish: Plays all over field for Oconee: linebacker, wide receiver, running back, safety. Advanced route-running ability helps in coverage. Must get more physical, prove he can take on blockers in run game. Needs additional weight, strength to play linebacker. 

Bottom Line: Virginia recruited Weeks at inside linebacker, and it’s not hard to see why. He’s years of strength development away from the field, but possesses the instincts, athleticism and coverage ability to thrive in the Cavaliers’ 3-4 scheme. Potential multi-year starter, with impact player upside.
