Arizona Wildcats offensive lineman Edgar Burrola was recently suspended for violating the program’s COVID-19 protocol, and the redshirt junior shared his side of the story in an interview with KVOA’s David Kelly on Tuesday night, admitting to violating the rules four times.
Burrola said the first violation occurred on June 30. He said he grabbed food at the team facility without wearing a mask—or a shirt—because it was a grab-and-go spread and he didn’t think it was necessary.
“They want to make it seem like I was coughing on everybody and being rude, when in reality it was just like a small mistake,” he said.
