Texas football coronavirus cases now ‘almost nonexistent’

During a virtual appearance at the annual Houston Touchdown Club on Thursday, Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman shared some good news about his football program as it relates to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“I know our positive numbers have dropped dramatically,” Herman said. “I’m not allowed to say numbers but almost nonexistent at this point.”

Five weeks ago, 15 players tested positive or were presumed positive based on symptoms when the team reported back to the Forty Acres for the first time since March. Ten more players went into self-quarantine.
