The father of a Georgia football player who was killed in a car crash on Jan. 15 has filed a lawsuit against the University of Georgia Athletic Association and others. He seeks $40 million dollars in damages for the crash that killed his son, offensive lineman Devin Willock, and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy.
Dave Willock’s suit was filed Tuesday in Gwinnett County and also names former Georgia defensive lineman Jalen Carter, LeCroy’s estate and Athens strip club Toppers International Showbar as defendants. The group had reportedly gathered at Toppers before the crash, which occurred hours after the football team celebrated its national championship with a parade in Athens.
Last month, Dave Willock told the school’s board of regents that he’d be filing a lawsuit that seeks $2 million in connection to the death of his son.
