Arizona Wildcats coach Kevin Sumlin, who recently tested positive for COVID-19, said Wednesday that he isn’t experiencing any symptoms.
“I’m doing all right,” Sumlin said during the Pac-12’s virtual media day. “It's a process. It’s unfortunate.”
Arizona Wildcats football head coach Kevin Sumlin tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced Monday. Sumlin has entered the isolation period as the team prepares to begin full team practices starting Friday.
Sumlin wore a mask and participated in the league webinar from the bedroom of his Tucson home. He said his youngest son, Joey, also has COVID-19. Joey is a defensive lineman for the Salpointe Catholic football team, which just entered a two-week quarantine period after one of its players tested positive for COVID.
Sumlin said he and his son go through a checklist every morning and that Joey also is asymptomatic.

“It's a tough time,” Sumlin said, “but we're getting through it.”
Arizona is scheduled to open training camp Friday. It’s unclear whether Sumlin will be able to participate on the field this weekend.
“We'll see where we are at the end of the week,” he said. “From a timeline standpoint, I was tested last week. But it wasn't confirmed until this (past) weekend, so it's about a week into this thing.”
We’ll have more on this developing story later today.
