Star LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks named preseason All-American by Walter Camp

LSU linebacker Whit Weeks earned preseason second-team All-American recognition from the Walter Camp Foundation on Tuesday.

Weeks' selection makes him one of the nation's top six linebackers. He led the Tigers with 125 tackles while adding 10 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in 2024. The performance made him an All-SEC first team selection.

The SEC led the selections with 12 schools represented and 16 players. Linebackers Jason Henderson of Old Dominion and Suntarine Perkins of Ole Miss join Weeks on the second team. Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnick earned first team honors while Arizona State's passer Sam Leavitt earned second team honors.

Weeks returns to the gridiron for his junior year following a six-month recovery from surgery on a dislocated ankle and broken fibula. He was carted off the field during the second quarter of the Kinder's Texas Bowl against Baylor after he went down making a tackle.
