ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit to work from home in Week 4 after contact with someone who had COVID-19

ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit won’t be on set on “College GameDay” Saturday morning or at Miami’s home game against Florida State that night.

Herbstreit said Friday afternoon that he would be working both the traveling pregame show and the game from home after he was near someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Herbstreit said he had tested negative for COVID-19 but wanted to be cautious and not potentially put anyone else at risk.

“I think it’s a time to take an abundance of caution, follow the protocols and do what we need to do,” Herbstreit said. “I’ve tested negative — I’ve actually tested negative twice this week, so all is well.
