Former UCF QB, current Cocoa coach Ryan Schneider tests positive for COVID-19

Former UCF quarterback Ryan Schneider, who is in his third year as head football coach at Cocoa High, tested positive for COVID-19 Tuesday.

Schneider, who said he had some minor symptoms, figured he should get tested since he was going to be around players during preseason workouts.

“I had a light cough Saturday going into Sunday, and some body aches and a scratchy throat Monday and today it was a headache and body aches,” Schneider said from his home in Cocoa, where he will be quarantined for 14 days. “I’m pretty much locked up at home.

“I’m just hoping it doesn’t get any worse.
