First-year Auburn football coach Bryan Harsin has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home without any symptoms, he said Friday.
In a statement released by the university, Harsin said he tested positive Thursday.
He will continue to participate remotely in meetings and practice, while assistant head coach Jeff Schmedding, who also coaches linebackers and is the defensive run game coordinator, will assume in-person head-coaching duties.
"As we have navigated through the pandemic, contingency plans have been in place should a situation like this arise," the 44-year-old Harsin said in a statement. ".
