Reports came out on Sunday that more possibly more Ole Miss football players tested positive for COVID-19 and are now in quarantine.
Nine players are in fact in quarantined, but it is due to contact tracing from the two positive tests that came back from the June 1 testing. Shannon Singletary, Ole Miss associate athletic director for health and sports performance, confirmed this with the EAGLE on Sunday.
No additional positive tests have been reported since a student-athlete and a staff member in the athletics department tested positive when players returned to campus earlier this month.
