A Star Linebacker in the Spotlight
LSU linebacker
Whit Weeks has become one of the most talked-about names in college football this week—not just for his performance on the field, but for a series of viral and headline-grabbing moments that have electrified the SEC community.
Viral Sideline Moment Captivates Fans
During Saturday’s high-stakes matchup against Ole Miss, Weeks was caught on camera throwing up on the sideline, a moment that quickly made the rounds on social media. While some speculated nerves or illness, others saw it as a testament to the intensity and pressure of SEC football. The incident didn’t seem to slow him down, as Weeks continued to play a key role in LSU’s defense.
Off-Field Drama: Lane Kiffin’s Daughter Adds Fuel to the Fire
The intrigue didn’t stop at the sidelines. In a twist worthy of a sports drama,
Landry Kiffin, daughter of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, announced on social media that she’s dating Whit Weeks. The revelation came just days before the 110th historic LSU-Ole Miss rivalry game, adding a personal subplot to an already heated contest.
Lane Kiffin, never one to shy away from social media banter, responded with a tongue-in-cheek post: “Take the over.” Some commentators speculated that the announcement was a strategic move to distract from Ole Miss’s quarterback controversy, while others saw it as a lighthearted addition to the rivalry’s lore.
On-Field Impact and Season Highlights
Despite the off-field distractions, Weeks has been a standout performer for LSU. He leads the Tigers with
119 tackles, including 10 tackles for loss, and is widely regarded as one of the top linebackers in the nation. His defensive prowess was on display in LSU’s recent 42-10 win over South Alabama, where he combined with teammate Major Burns for a crucial goal-line stop.
Weeks’ season hasn’t been without setbacks. He recently underwent surgery following an injury sustained in the Texas Bowl, but has since returned to anchor the Tigers’ defense.

With LSU in the hunt for a College Football Playoff spot and the SEC rivalry drama at a fever pitch, all eyes will remain on Whit Weeks. The Tigers’ next games will be critical, both for their postseason hopes and for Weeks’ growing legacy as one of college football’s most compelling figures.
