The Arizona Wildcats have suspended redshirt junior offensive lineman Edgar Burrola for violating the athletic department’s protocols related to COVID-19, according to Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star.
Burrola, who started six games at right tackle in 2019, has reportedly been resistant to safety protocols, including wearing a mask and practicing social distancing during voluntary offseason workouts.
This led to a “reduction” of his scholarship in the form of his meal plan being taken away, something Burrola first noted on his Twitter page on Monday, where he’s also shared claims that Arizona is forcing football players to work out during a pandemic while also expressing skepticism over the severity of the coronavirus.
