“I am continuing to self-isolate from my family, who all remain healthy, and am following all the guidelines set forth by UF Health, the CDC and our public health officials,” Mullen said in the tweet.
Mullen’s positive case comes on the heels of the Gators pausing all activities due to 21 players testing positive for COVID-19. Between 18 scholarship athletes with positive cases, players in quarantine and athletes who are injured, UF fell below 50 scholarship players available to compete.
