Two LSU football players make Athlon Sports’ preseason All-SEC team
Two LSU football players are projected to earn First-Team All-SEC honors. Linebacker Whit Weeks and kick returner Barion Brown made the cut. Texas QB Arch Manning got the nod over Garrett Nussmeier on offense.
Linebacker Whit Weeks made the cut, as did Barion Brown in the kick returner role. LSU didn’t place all-conference players on offense, with Texas QB Arch Manning getting the nod over Garrett Nussmeier.
Weeks left LSU’s Texas Bowl win vs. Baylor with an ankle injury, but that was after the linebacker enjoyed a breakout season as a sophomore. Weeks ranked second among SEC linebackers in stops and pressures. He was a havoc creator, sacking the quarterback four times, forcing two fumbles, and batting down two passes.
After surgery, Weeks missed LSU’s spring practice but is expected to return as LSU kicks off fall camp later this Summer.
As for Brown, he transfers to LSU already with five kicks returned for a touchdown. Brown is expected to be a dynamic weapon on LSU’s offense, but Tiger fans should expect Brown to be a difference-maker on special teams, too.
