News dropped this week that the Texas football program wasn’t spared among those with players testing positive for COVID-19.

With players returning to campus earlier this week, the Texas football program had to start getting ramped up for the looming 2020 season. Part of that process for a number of college football programs around the country early this month was a large scale of testing for the novel coronavirus.

One of the initial stories around the Big 12 in terms of positive tests announced for COVID-19 came from the Oklahoma State Cowboys rising senior linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga.
