Arizona football players speak out about UA’s re-entry plan

In case you missed it, the Arizona Wildcats announced Monday that they have paused their student-athlete re-entry plan due to the surging number of COVID-19 cases in Pima County.

Prior to that announcement, the UA had returned 83 student-athletes to campus for voluntary workouts, only one of which tested positive for coronavirus, a positivity rate much lower than the state and county as a whole.

While other UA student-athletes will not be reporting to campus for the time being, Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star is reporting that the UA is hoping its football players can resume workouts Wednesday if the state allows them.
