As you can see in the videos below, it appears as though trainers had to bend Weeks’ ankle back into place:
Whit Weeks appeared to be in good spirits as he was carted away. In a heartwarming moments, Weeks’ entire team came over to share their support before he left the field:
Whit Weeks Had A Strong Second Season At LSU
After a stellar true freshman year with the Tigers, Whit Weeks elevated his game in 2024 by posting 114 total tackles, 3.5 sacks, four pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one interception.
A three-game losing skid late in the year (vs. Texas A&M, Alabama and Florida) doomed the Tigers’ chances of qualifying for the 12-team College Football Playoff this year. But beating Baylor in the Texas Bowl is sure a nice way to close out a roller-coaster 2024 season.
