The Rising Superstar: LB Whit Weeks

LSU linebacker Whit Weeks has introduced himself to America after back-to-back dominant performances against Ole Miss and Arkansas.

After an 18 tackle performance last weekend against the Rebels, Weeks followed it up with another masterclass showing on Saturday night in Fayetteville against the Razorbacks.

The sophomore star ended the night with nine total tackles, five solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss, two pass breakups and one interception. The stat sheet stuffer was shot out of a cannon on nearly every play after wreaking havoc in the backfield.

LSU found themselves in a one-score game with the Razorbacks in the third quarter. With Arkansas trending, insert Weeks as the hero.

The youngster batted a pass at the line of scrimmage, kept his eye on the ball and came up with a momentum shifting interception.

On the next play, it was Caden Durham who punched in the score to shift all momentum LSU's way with the program not blinking after the touchdown.

"We got it to 16-10 and I thought we had a really good chance," Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said. "Unfortunately we had the ball tipped up, batted up for an interception.  They scored the next play. Three turnovers to no turnovers against a team like LSU, because they are a really good team, hard to win."
