Liberty Head Football Coach Hugh Freeze Tests Positive for COVID-19

Liberty University announced Friday that Flames head football coach tested positive for COVID-19 and is dealing with "mild symptoms."

Here's a look at the full statement from the Lynchburg, Virginia, school:

Freeze took over at Liberty in December 2018.

After guiding the Flames to an 8-5 record in his first year, they started the current campaign 8-0 before their first and only loss to NC State on Nov. 21. They rebounded with a 45-0 blowout of UMass to close out the regular season as a matchup with Coastal Carolina last week was canceled because of COVID-19 concerns.
