A week ago, Michigan State football waited and waited to learn whether Maryland could play or not.
Naquan Jones already knew what that feeling of dealing with the unknowns of COVID-19 was like.
The senior defensive tackle said Tuesday he had COVID-19 and has recovered. He's the second Spartan athlete to announce contracting the coronavirus, and Jones said it has had a ripple effect across his family. Offensive lineman Matt Carrick told The Canton Repository in August he had COVID-19 in July.
“I've lost family members to COVID, and that's something that my family takes very serious…,” Jones said Tuesday.
