Whit Weeks' Comments Ahead Of Senior Night Raise Questions About His LSU Future

LSU linebacker Whit Weeks could be nearing the end of his time in Baton Rouge.

Weeks spoke with reporters Thursday at a Raising Cane's event and was asked about Saturday's Senior Night against Texas, which will be LSU's final home game of the season.

The veteran linebacker admitted that he hasn't spent much time thinking about the emotions of potentially playing his final game in Tiger Stadium.

"I haven't even really gotten myself to think about it yet because it's going to make me sad thinking that that's my last time ever going out in that stadium," Weeks said.

While Weeks has another year of eligibility available under the new fifth-year rules, his comments suggest he could be leaning toward moving on after this season. However, he has not officially announced a decision about his future.

Weeks has been a leader on LSU's defense over the last several seasons but has dealt with multiple injuries that have forced him to miss time.

The latest came against Texas A&M on September 26, when he suffered a fractured fibula. Weeks has missed LSU's last five games but was upgraded from doubtful to questionable on this week's injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with Texas.

Whether Weeks will be able to return to the field for Senior Night remains to be seen.
