Whit Weeks, Landry Kiffin launch relationship

LSU Tigers linebacker Whit Weeks and Landry Kiffin, daughter of Ole Miss Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin, appeared to confirm their relationship days before the two teams play each other.

Landry Kiffin, an Ole Miss student, posted a photo of the two on her Instagram as part of a slideshow of several different pictures. She captioned the gallery as, “happy.”

Weeks added his own playful comment to the post.

“Nice dude,” he wrote.

Landry responded, “Thanks bud.”

The so-called hard launch of the relationship came at a suspicious time for both Weeks and Kiffin. The game between LSU and Ole Miss, which is set to take place in Oxford, Mississippi, on Saturday afternoon, is one of the early marquee SEC games of the 2025 season.

Weeks is one of the top defenders in the conference. He led the SEC in solo tackles last season with 61. Through four games this season, he has 11 total tackles including five solo. He also has a tackle for a loss and a half-sack.

LSU heads into the game ranked No. 4 in the latest Associated Press top 25 poll with a 4-0 record.

Lane Kiffin has been the head coach at Ole Miss since 2020. He led the Rebels to the team’s third 10-win season in four years. This year, Ole Miss is also 4-0 through four games.
