Trey'Dez Green and Whit Weeks earn the LSU number seven jersey
Summary

LSU football tight end Trey'Dez Green and linebacker Whit Weeks have been assigned the school's traditional No. 7 jersey for the 2026 season. The selection was announced last week ahead of the program's first campaign under head coach Lane Kiffin. Green, entering his junior year, acknowledged the significance of the honor, noting his desire to wear the number since growing up in Louisiana. The No. 7 jersey carries historical weight within the program and has previously been worn by players including Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Mathieu, and Leonard Fournette. Green, who stands 6-foot-7, emerged as a top target for LSU in 2025 and is expected to play a central role in Kiffin's offensive scheme this fall. He is currently considered an All-American candidate following his breakout performance last season.
