Former LSU safety Greg Brooks Jr. has filed a lawsuit against the school and its affiliated medical center for negligence.

In the lawsuit filed in East Baton Rouge Parish and obtained by Yahoo Sports' Ross Dellenger, Brooks has accused Tigers coaches of threatening to take away his starting job while he was ill and said team trainers did not appropriately diagnose his condition and refused to recommend him to a neurological specialist for weeks.

Brooks also alleged he suffered "catastrophic neurological injuries" and said he is "permanently disabled" from brain surgery he had at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge.
