Georgia State QB Mikele Colasurdo diagnosed with heart condition linked to COVID-19

Georgia State quarterback Mikele Colasurdo has been diagnosed with a heart condition as a result of contracting COVID-19 and won't be able to play football this season, he announced Thursday.

The freshman and former three-star prospect from South Carolina arrived on campus in the spring.

In a post on Twitter, Colasurdo thanked coach Shawn Elliott and the training staff for "providing a safe environment for us to train and practice."

"Ultimately it was the procedures and tests set forth by GSU that allowed the doctors to find this condition in my heart and help keep me safe," Colasurdo wrote.
