Five LSU Tigers Named Perfect Game All-Americans
Earlier this week, Perfect Game announced their All-American teams, and five Tigers cracked the list.
Making an All-American team is a huge honor. It means you were one of, if not the best player at your given position during the season. Let's take a look at the five Tigers who made an All-American team.

Kade Anderson, SP
Kade Anderson made the First-Team All-American as a starting pitcher. He was one of five starting pitchers to make the First-Team after posting a 3.58 ERA and a 10-1 record. Anderson also ranks second in the nation in strikeouts with 163, just one behind Liam Doyle.
Jared Jones, 1B
Jared Jones didn't make the First-Team, but comes in as the Second-Team first baseman. LSU's star junior batted .328 with 15 doubles, 20 home runs and 70 RBIs. Tennessee's Andrew Fischer was the only first baseman above him.
Anthony Eyanson, SP
Anthony Eyanson was also named a Second-Teamer by Perfect Game. In all honesty, I think he easily should've been a First-Teamer after having arguably a better season than Anderson. He posted an 11-2 record behind a 2.74 ERA while striking out 142 batters, which ranked third in the country.
Derek Curiel, OF
LSU's star freshman, Derek Curiel, was named a Freshman All-American by Perfect Game after an incredible freshman season which saw him bat .350 with 19 doubles, seven home runs and 52 RBIs.
Casan Evans, RP
Casan Evans was also named to the Freshman All-American team. I thought he certainly had a case to be on the Third or maybe even Second-Team, but I guess he fell just short. He's been one of LSU's best pitchers, posting a 1.90 ERA in 47.1 innings.

LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks named to Bronco Nagurski award watchlist
LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks was named to the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, announced Tuesday. The annual award is presented to the top defensive player in college football. LSU has just one Nagurski award winner in its history -- defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey. He won the trophy in 2007 after totaling 69 tackles and seven sacks. South Carolina's Kyle Kennard earned the recognition last year. A rising junior, Weeks ranked second in the SEC last year with 56 stops and 25 pressures. He led the Tigers with 125 tackles while also adding 10 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and an interception. Weeks took a big step forward as a sophomore under first-year defensive coordinator Blake Baker, ranking among the top five in multiple statistical categories within the conference. Similar progression in 2025 would further increase his NFL Draft stock and put LSU's defense in a position to contain some of the nation's most potent offenses.

Three reasons why LSU football linebacker Whit Weeks can win the Butkus Award
Whit Weeks returns to LSU football for a highly anticipated third season. The linebacker turned in a breakout sophomore year in 2024. His 25 pressures and 56 stops both ranked second among SEC linebackers, and he led the Tigers with 125 tackles. Weeks also added 10 tackles for loss, six quarterback hurries, 3.5 sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and an interception. In his second season under defensive coordinator Blake Baker, Weeks is poised for another standout year. He's certainly a preseason contender for the Butkus Award and has a great chance to take it home with a repeat performance of last year. Weeks' play is contingent upon his recovery from a lower-body injury sustained during the second quarter of LSU's bowl game in January. Head coach Brian Kelly pointed to a full return for Weeks by fall camp, so it appears he'll be ready to lead the Tigers' front seven. Here are three reasons why Weeks will win the 2025 Butkus Award. LSU DC Blake Baker has a strong history of developing linebackers Baker built a reputation for developing talented linebackers dating back to his first stint at LSU and time at Missouri. Weeks took a large step forward from his first to his second season in Baton Rouge, thanks in large part to Baker's tutelage. A second season in Baker's system should yield similar growth from last offseason for Weeks. Now a junior, he'll not only be playing for championships at LSU but also to increase his draft stock ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Weeks' returning production is better than any SEC linebacker Weeks is coming off a season in which he was among the SEC's top five in multiple categories. Within arguably the toughest conference in college football, he already separated himself from the competition. With home contests against conference juggernauts Florida and South Carolina, as well as road games at Alabama and Texas A&M, Weeks will have plenty of opportunities to prove he's the best at his position. Weeks has the talent to make splashy plays Weeks puts himself in great positions to make standout plays. Highlight reel-worthy plays make a difference in consideration for postseason awards like the Butkus Award, and Weeks has the potential to do just that. A former blue-chip recruit, Weeks was a four-star prospect per On3's Industry Rankings. He was No. 15 at his position and No. 149 overall in the 2023 cycle.
