LSU safety Greg Brooks Jr. sues university for alleged negligence after brain cancer diagnosis

BATON ROUGE, La. (FOX) — An LSU football player is suing the school for alleged negligence after undergoing surgery for brain cancer.

Greg Brooks Jr. was diagnosed with a rare type of brain cancer, the school announced last year.

Brooks underwent surgery in September 2023 after experiencing vertigo. Head coach Brian Kelly said Brooks had been dizzy several days before LSU's game against Mississippi State, which he missed, and an MRI revealed the tumor.

He played in LSU's first two games of the 2023 season after suiting up in all of LSU's 14 games in 2022. The Tigers lost the SEC title to Georgia in 2022 but won the Citrus Bowl over Purdue. Brooks had a career-high 66 tackles in 2022.

Brooks argues the school did not handle the situation properly and alleged medical malpractice with the surgery.

The lawsuit, filed in August, alleges LSU staff told Brooks to play football despite feeling sick, and it threatened to take his starting spot away if he didn't.

Brooks had several strokes during surgery caused by the surgeon, the suit alleges, and he says he hasn't been able to walk since.
