Redshirt freshman wide receiver Eyin Cole and freshman defensive back Jaylon Worsham have both decided to opt-out of the 2020 football season. This was announced by head coach Willie Taggart on the same day he said the football program “had like 11″ positive COVID-19 tests.
The news comes after FAU canceled its practice Tuesday after the program “received positive COVID-19 test results for a number of student-athletes late on Monday,” according to a press release from FAU athletics.
“We had like 11 positives, more than we’ve ever had [before], which was a little alarming for us,” Taggart said during his press conference today.
