Florida AD Says Student Athletes Will Undergo ‘Full Cardiac Evaluation’ Upon Return

University of Florida Athletic Director Scott Stricklin sent a COVID Update out this morning to the “Gator Nation” about the football program, which was forced to cancel its game with LSU last weekend and Missouri this weekend because of the virus.

“Not only have the Gators Sports Health Staff continued telehealth appointments with the players and staff affected, but our Nutrition Staff has been delivering food to our student-athletes. Our Academic Advising Unit has also been virtually assisting our student-athletes during this time.

“And most importantly, before the student-athletes who were affected return, they will complete a full cardiac evaluation. They will also have a complete medical evaluation before returning to activity.”
