LSU fans believe Lane Kiffin's daughter's boyfriend is transferring due to a false viral post

This weekend, LSU supporters found themselves caught up in a brief swirl of speculation after a false viral post claimed that linebacker Whit Weeks was planning to transfer from LSU. The post, which quickly gained traction on social media, insinuated that Weeks, who is dating Landry Kiffin, Lane Kiffins daughter, was leaving the program.

The rumor spread across SEC message boards and fan accounts, generating thousands of shares and a wave of discussions among fans of both LSU and Ole Miss. However, the story was entirely untrue.

Landry Kiffin publicly confirmed her relationship with Weeks in September. Weeks, who earned First-team All-SEC honors in 2024, has been a notable contributor to LSUs defense. Lane Kiffin even joked about the situation during the Ole Miss vs. LSU matchup earlier this season, humorously acknowledging his daughter dating a player on an opposing team.

Lane Kiffin officially left Ole Miss to become LSUs head coach on a reported seven-year contract worth over $91 million, with potential incentives that could elevate his annual salary to one of the highest in college football. Following his official arrival, some fans mistakenly interpreted the fabricated social media post as a genuine indication that Weeks might transfer.

In reality, Weeks has no intentions of leaving LSU. The viral chatter was purely speculative. For most LSU supporters, the confusion was a momentary source of amusement amid ongoing speculation and social media buzz surrounding the team and its new head coach.
