LSU star gives insight into his mindset heading into a crucial Week One battle against the Clemson Tigers

“You don’t want to lollygag into the season,” Weeks said. “You want to go get into a fistfight in the first week. 

We know what our past records have been at home games, and everyday we go into work to change that narrative. Everybody in the whole building knows what the goals are for this season, and Clemson is just the first team that we have to beat in order to achieve those goals.” 

Weeks is coming off of an end of season leg injury, including a dislocated ankle and broken fibula. Prior to that injury, he was playing like one of the very best linebackers in the country. In 13 games, Weeks managed to collect 125 total tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and an interception. 

The 6-2, 225-pound defender should once again be amongst the nation’s best, as well as a crucial leader for the LSU program. The team seems extremely focused heading into the 2025 season, and they will need to be with all the expectations they have set. 

Coach Kelly is also heading into a very important year four with the program. If the team comes out swinging against Clemson, and comes out with a victory, they would be a legitimate contender. Until then, they are a team with a ton of preseason hype that needs to actualize their talent into on field production. 

August 30th in Clemson, South Carolina promises to be a show. Get your popcorn ready and enjoy a battle between two of the very best teams in college football, potentially.
