More football fans likely know the name Whit Weeks.

He gained notoriety for dating Lane Kiffin's daughter, Landry.

But Whit's brother West has a promising football future ahead of him.

After the conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft, West signed a contract as an undrafted free agent with the Indianapolis Colts.

West is a linebacker out of LSU, and that was a position of need heading into the draft for the Colts.

Indy made the decision earlier this offseason to trade away LB Zaire Franklin to the Green Bay Packers. That created opportunity in that unit with the Colts.

West Weeks won't be necessarily favored to win a job, but he's getting a chance, and that's all that most players can ask for.

The offseason proceedings will start with rookie minicamp, then the workouts that follow, and West will try to stick around into training camp and the preseason to show the Colts and potentially other teams what he's capable of.
