Former USC running back Stafon Johnson is suing the school after a weightlifting accident that nearly killed him.
Johnson has called a news conference this afternoon to announce a personal injury lawsuit against the university.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
It all stems from the September 2009 accident in the weight room, when a bar loaded with 275 pounds fell on Johnson's neck, crushing his larynx.
At the time, it was reported that Johnson was bench-pressing with a spotter when the bar slipped out of his right hand and fell at an angle onto his throat.
Johnson underwent more than seven hours of surgery to repair extensive damage to his neck and larynx.
