When LSU lost Harold Perkins Jr for the season it was clear that Whit Weeks was going to need to step if LSU's defense was going to be a solid unit. This season Whit Weeks has been sensational for LSU as he's flown around making play after play for the defense.
Against Arkansas, Whit Weeks made an incredible play blitzing off the edge tipping a Taylen Green pass, catching it, and nearly scoring a touchdown setting up an immediate touchdown for LSU. Weeks also unveiled one of the best celebrations you will see in College Football after the interception.
