Desmond Howard, the former Michigan star and current co-host and analyst for ESPN’s College GameDay, has tested positive for COVID-19.

Howard shared the announcement of his positive test during a video on his personal Twitter account. According to Howard, he is dealing with some of the mild symptoms associated with the virus and focusing on getting rest and lots of fluids in isolation.

Fortunately, Howard did indicate that he is planning on doing Saturday’s show, but he will be appearing remotely with the rest of the crew.

Howard became the second big name in the world of college football to reveal a positive test Wednesday. Clemson’s star quarterback Trevor Lawrence also announced a positive test and will need to isolate for at least 10 days as a part of ACC protocols.
