DEAL ACCEPTED: LSU Linebacker Whit Weeks Inks Historic $109M Deal With Ole Miss Rebels 🐯➡️🔴
Oxford, MS — September 5, 2025
In an absolutely jaw-dropping twist that has shaken the SEC to its core, Whit Weeks, standout linebacker for the LSU Tigers, has officially signed a 4-year, $109 million contract with rival powerhouse, the Ole Miss Rebels — becoming the highest-paid defensive player in college football history.
“The future is now,” said Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, who reportedly played a personal role in sealing the blockbuster deal. “We didn’t just recruit a player… we signed a force of nature.”
🐅 From Death Valley to the Grove
Weeks, who was one of the most explosive and consistent defensive stars for LSU over the past two seasons, is expected to become the face of the Rebels’ defense — and perhaps the entire team — as they gear up for a national title run.
The 4-year deal includes:
-
A record-setting $109 million NIL package
-
Full endorsement partnerships with major brands
-
Leadership guarantees, including a captaincy role
-
Exclusive media rights and personal brand development
“I’m grateful for my time at LSU,” Weeks said in a short social media post. “But it’s time to turn the page. Hotty Toddy.”
🔥 The SEC Just Got Personal
This move marks one of the most controversial intra-conference signings in the NIL era. LSU fans are outraged, with message boards lighting up over what some call a “betrayal” and others call “just business.”
Meanwhile, Ole Miss fans have erupted in celebration, flooding social media with custom-edited graphics of Weeks in Rebel red, with the tagline:
“Rebel Iron, Tiger No More.“
📈 Implications for College Football
The Weeks deal is a massive statement about how far the college game has come — and how high the stakes now are.

Star players now have free agency-like power

The SEC arms race just escalated — again
🧠 A Message to the Tigers
Sources close to the situation say Weeks left behind a heartfelt video message for LSU’s coaching staff and teammates, in which he said:
“You’re my brothers. This decision wasn’t easy. But greatness comes with change. I’ll always bleed purple and gold… but for now, I’m suiting up in red.”
🕵️♂️ What’s Next?
