As the Southern Miss football team approaches the start of its season, the team is close to becoming fully vaccinated. Director of Athletics Jeremy McClain announced in an interview on the 4th Street Sports Show that the team will surpass a 90% vaccination rate once some players receive their second doses.
“I’m excited about it,” McClain said. “It gives us an opportunity to go and compete. We can’t just dismiss what’s happening, but it gives us a layer of protection that is really important.”
Head Coach Will Hall noted that his staff is nearly “100%” vaccinated.
