An Ole Miss football player is suing coach Lane Kiffin and the school, alleging they are responsible for his ailing mental health. DeSanto Rollins filed the suit Thursday, claiming Kiffin, members of the coaching staff and other employees of the university showed “reckless disregard” for his anxiety, and he is seeking $40 million. An Ole Miss spokesman told ESPN Thursday night the school hadn’t received the lawsuit and that Rollins was still on the team. DeSanto was never removed from the football team and remains on scholarship,” the school told the outlet. Rollins alleges he was not referred for a mental health evaluation when he also suffered a concussion before both of those injuries.
