Bryan Harsin announced Friday that he has tested positive for COVID-19.

The first-year Auburn head coach issued a statement on the matter. Harsin says he is not experiencing symptoms. The statement adds that Jeff Schmedding will assume in-person head-coaching duties while Harsin will continue to participate remotely.

“Yesterday I tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. I am isolating at home while experiencing no symptoms. As we have navigated through the pandemic, contingency plans have been in place should a situation like this arise. We prepared for this. Coach Jeff Schmedding will assume in-person head coaching duties and I will continue to participate remotely in meetings and practice. Just like in a game, teams that handle adversity and make necessary adjustments are those that are most successful. I have full confidence in our coaching staff and team. I know they will continue to prepare with the same intensity and focus that they have since camp started.”
