Devin Willock's father files lawsuit against University of Georgia

The father of Devin Willock has filed a lawsuit against the University of Georgia Athletic Association, claiming the school's athletic department should be held liable for the January car crash that killed the former Bulldogs offensive lineman and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Gwinnett County, Georgia, also names former Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter, LeCroy's estate and Athens strip club Toppers International Showbar, where the group had assembled before the crash, as defendants.

Attorneys representing Willock's father, Dave, notified the university's board of regents last month that they planned to seek $2 million in damages for Willock's wrongful death.
