The return to campus for all Big 12 football programs didn’t go as planned this week for some, as one Oklahoma State player tested positive for COVID-19.

A foe of the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 Football conference, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, received some bad news on June 2. On Tuesday evening, rising senior Oklahoma State linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19 in the first week back on campus. Ogbongbemiga is really the first significant player in the Big 12 for football that was announced to have tested positive for COVID-19 as the teams work back into workouts for the summer.
