Football

The West Virginia football team welcomed players back to campus on Monday to begin voluntary workouts. WVU tested all players for COVID-19 when they returned, and only one Mountaineer tested positive for the virus. He and other players who may have been exposed will be mandated to self-quarantine for two weeks.

West Virginia’s football team will soon make its full return as the student-athlete phase began Monday and will last until June 29, as part of the team’s plan for phased return.
