ESPN CFB Analyst Kirk Herbstreit Announces COVID-19 Diagnosis

ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said Tuesday night on Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19.

He will work from home for College GameDay on Friday and will call the Sugar Bowl between Clemson and Ohio State remotely.

Herbstreit said he and his family are "okay" in the wake of his diagnosis.

In September, Herbstreit called a game between Florida State and Miami from home after he came into contact with someone who tested positive for the virus, even though he had tested negative.

The 51-year-old, who has worked for College GameDay since 1996, isn't the first member of ESPN's college football team to test positive.
