Attorneys representing Dave Willock, the father of late Georgia offensive lineman Devin Willock, have sent a formal notice to the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents that he plans to seek $2 million in damages, documents showed.

Dave controls his son's estate and sent a legal notice to the board of regents and others earlier this month. According to Georgia law, notice is required whenever a legal action is going to be filed against a state entity.

The maximum amount state agencies can be sued for is $2 million, per Georgia law.

Willock and recruiting staffer Chandler LeCroy were killed in a car wreck in January, shortly after the football team's celebration of their back-to-back College Football Playoff National Championships.

The ceremony was held on campus. Willock and LeCroy were later found in a UGA-rented Ford Expedition on Barnett Shoals Road near university property. Police said the SUV was racing top NFL Draft prospect Jalen Carter.
