A second Mountaineer on the West Virginia football team has tested positive for the coronavirus. The player, whose name has not been released, will enter a self-isolation period for the next 14 days, and other student-athletes who may have been exposed will be mandated to self-quarantine.

Earlier this spring, former West Virginia standout Billy Legg returned to his alma mater when he was appointed assistant to head coach Neal Brown.
