Report: Three Oklahoma State Football Players Test Positive for COVID-19
As Big 12 teams begin preparations to return to campus, testing for COVID-19 is expected to be an integral part of how teams prepare to return. At Oklahoma State, SiriusXM’s Gabe Ikard reported that three players tested positive for the virus, which is delaying incoming freshmen coming to campus. Ikard now says it will be done in phases.
Update: I’ve been told by Oklahoma State that there are 3 positive tests so far. All asymptomatic. They were actually anticipating more positive tests than that. They’ve adjusted their phases for bringing back more players and feel like they’re in a good position moving forward.

Expecting an official statement from the program today addressing this. Clearly, they will not name the specific players that tested positive.
