LSU’s Linebacker Revival: Weeks, Dottery Aim to Dominate SEC in 2026
LSU enters the 2026 season with a renewed sense of optimism after a tumultuous 2025 campaign that saw several key defenders sidelined by injury. Chief among them is star linebacker Whit Weeks, who missed the latter half of last year with a broken ankle but has now been cleared to return for his senior season. Adding to the excitement, Ole Miss’s SEC‑leading tackler TJ Dottery has announced his commitment to LSU’s linebacker corps. Dottery, known for his relentless pursuit and ability to diagnose plays in real time, brings a proven track record of production against top‑tier competition. His arrival is expected to complement Weeks' skill set, creating a tandem that many analysts predict could rank among the best in the conference.
