The oldest of LSU's linebacker-playing Weeks brothers, West Weeks signed with the Colts as an undrafted free agent after four productive seasons in Baton Rouge.
West Weeks is part of an LSU football family, the oldest of three brothers who played linebacker for the Tigers alongside Whit and Zach Weeks. After starting his career at Virginia and transferring to LSU, he went undrafted in 2026 but signed with the Colts, where his special-teams ability and speed give him a chance to make the roster.
Path to the league
Weeks, out of Oconee County High School in Watkinsville, Georgia, began his college career at Virginia in 2021, recording 31 tackles as a freshman before entering the transfer portal. He transferred to LSU, where he played alongside his brothers Whit and Zach Weeks through the 2025 season. He went undrafted in 2026 but signed with the Colts as a free agent.
Career highlights
Across his college career at Virginia and LSU, Weeks totaled 133 tackles, 11.5 for loss, four sacks and a forced fumble. He earned an invite to the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl following his senior season, a showcase that helped keep him on NFL radars despite going unselected in the draft.
2025 season recap
In his final season at LSU in 2025, Weeks made 11 starts and totaled 74 tackles, including eight for loss and 2.5 sacks, to go with a pass breakup and a pass deflection. That production, along with his speed and special-teams value, helped him sign with the Colts as an undrafted free agent.
