“Expectations heading into the 2024 college football season centered around the LSU Tigers having one of the best linebackers in the country,” the article shared. “While that ultimately came to pass, Whit Weeks and not Harold Perkins Jr. asserted themselves as the very best at the position as the season unfurled. The true junior returns to Baton Rouge among the very best of the top 100 college football players for 2025.
Weeks’ season ended in tragedy with a dislocated ankle suffered in the Texas Bowl win over the Baylor Bears. Yet that shouldn’t overshadow a sensational sophomore campaign. He led the SEC with 61 solo tackles, tallied 10 tackles for loss with 3.5 sacks, snagged an interception, and forced two fumbles. His injury also shouldn’t prevent him from becoming the best linebacker in the country, fueled by his hair-on-fire energy.”
Weeks was the nation’s top linebacker in the College Sports Network article.
Nussmeier was the sixth quarterback on the list and fourth SEC quarterback, behind Penn State’s Drew Allar (No. 8), South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers (No. 11), Texas’ Arch Manning (No. 16), Florida’s DJ Lagway (No. 17) and Duke’s Darian Mensah (No. 28)
Durham was the seventh-highest ranked running back and third in the SEC, behind Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love (No. 6), Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy (No. 14), Mississippi State’s Fluff Bothwell (No. 26), Oregon’s Makhi Hughes (No. 27), Penn State’s Nicholas Singleton (No. 31) and Louisville’s Isaac Brown (No. 42)
