A former USC linebacker has filed a lawsuit against the university claiming school officials talked him into purchasing a disability insurance policy that turned out to be inadequate.
As a junior in 2012, Morgan Breslin played in all 12 games for the Trojans and recorded 13 sacks and 19.5 tackles for loss. He suffered an unspecified injury the following season and appeared in just five games his senior year.
According to the lawsuit, Breslin was designated as an “Exceptional Student-Athlete” before the 2012-2013 season and became eligible for an insurance policy that claimed it would protect him in the event that he was injured and unable to play in the NFL.
