ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit tests positive for COVID-19, will work College GameDay and Sugar Bowl from home

Kirk Herbstreit will not be on site for College GameDay or the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Friday, but he will be working.

The ESPN personality revealed Tuesday that he tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this week. He says he is feeling good, but will be working from home for ESPN’s broadcast on New Year’s Day.

It already stood to be an unusual bowl season for Herbstreit. For the first time in years, he is not calling the Rose Bowl, which was relocated to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, due to California’s COVID-19 restrictions.
