The LSU Tigers were left with a depleted linebacker group last weekend against the Florida Gators. Early in the first quarter, star linebacker Whit Weeks was ejected thanks to a controversial targeting call. Then in the third quarter, West Weeks went down with a lower body injury and would not return to the field.
Even in their absences, the Tigers put together a dominating defensive performance that led them to a 20-10 win. With two major contributors missing the action, players like Ty Singleton and Davhon Keys stepped up in major ways. The third and youngest Weeks brother, Zach, also saw some action.
After the game against Florida, Brian Kelly spoke about how the backup linebackers stepped up against the Gators. When mentioning Zach specifically, the Tiger head coach joked that he was so new to campus that he didn't even know where the Cox Center for academic support was located.
"We played Ty Singleton. How many snaps has he had? He's had 3 snaps all year. Davhon Keys had to play the whole game. Zach Weeks? He doesn't even know where the COX Center is for academic support."Brian Kelly
Zach is a true freshman who reclassified in order to play at LSU with both of his brothers in 2025. It's the first time in their lives that all three Weeks brothers are on the same team.
After Kelly's remarks, the youngest Weeks brother has taken to social media to respond to his coach in the best way possible. As it turns out, Zach does know where the Cox Center for academic support is located.

The joke has LSU fans laughing on social media, even joking that Weeks had to use Google Maps to find the building. With his keen sense of humor, along with his solid play on Saturday night, LSU fans may have a new favorite Weeks brother to root for.
