Arizona WR Jaden Mitchell details battle with COVID-19, urges people to take pandemic seriously

The Arizona Wildcats have reported three positive COVID-19 tests since the football team began voluntary workouts in June, and we now know one of them was redshirt freshman wide receiver Jaden Mitchell, who detailed his long battle with the virus on Twitter.

“As someone who had COVID-19 for 3 weeks and had to quarantine for 4 weeks, this virus is no joke,” the Las Vegas native wrote. “I lost 14 pounds and am still working on gaining it back and reconditioning myself. My training staff and everyone at the University of Arizona has done a GREAT job of making us feel safe and taken care of.
