Injury report doesn't lie either.
And yet the NFL drafts players every single year with injury issues. Jordan Tyson, Marshann Lattimore, Jeffery Simmons, Jameson Williams, and Landon Dickerson just to name a few.

I can’t imagine a world where he comes back for a 5th season
NIL wouldn't be a reason to come back for a 5th year for Weeks?

Obviously NIL would be the only reason the 5th year is legitimately on the table.
I just don’t think the risk of returning is worth the financial reward.
In a Goldilocks scenario: he comes back, gets NIL money, balls out, raises his draft stock and goes 1st round and gets paid.
Do we really need to spell out the other scenarios? Just take off the p&g glasses for a minute and look at this from a 3rd party perspective.
It would be completely different if he has never been injured before, but that is not the case.

Almost everyone has another year. 5 years to play 5 now. Only people who took a previous redshirt don’t get another year

Agreed.

Whit will be a 2nd rounder at MINIMUM. His tape doesnt lie. Great instincts.
Only game changing ILB go in the first round. Whit is really good, but he isn’t that.
2nd round is his ceiling.

Not only that, but he was considered a 3rd-5th round draft pick prior to the injury. His NIL contract for 2027 will be over $1 million. He would have to be drafted before the 4th round to make that kind of money in the NFL guaranteed.

If he’s still dating the daughter next year, I see him returning. He’ll make more at LSU next year than he would as a 4th-5th round pick, have a chance to get healthy and play into a 2nd round grade, play with little brother, and be a part of a program that’s investing a ton into the roster (playing with better players will help him put out better tape).

If he sues for one, he will get the Chambliss rule.

Weeks plays too hard which is his only problem, making him injury prone.

It doesn’t matter, Whit almost went pro after last year even with the injury. No way I see him coming back again. He will go pro. I’d love to be wrong but I just doubt he returns for another season.
Posted on 9/28/26 at 1:26 pm to Alt26
Right and there’s always a chance he’s drafted below the third round given injuries and the position, especially if he doesn’t run well.
Posted on 9/28/26 at 1:30 pm to LSUPilot07
He will.

He can 5 for 5 or he could redshirt this year under the old rules if he has to sit out the rest of the regular season.
The question will be, can he get a 3rd-round or higher grade in the draft this year? If so, he is not likely to return.

From what I understand of the 5 for 5 rule, that isn't a thing anymore.
Beginning with this year’s freshman class, it’s not. For the class of 2022, five for five doesn’t apply to them, which is why the NCAA invited so many law suits. For anybody else in school when the rule was adopted, the player has the choice to use 5 for 5 or the old rules(red shirts/medical redshirts), whichever is most beneficial for them. That being said, that doesn’t mean a medical redshirt would be granted.
