“This virus is not following any of the rules …”

Kayontae Johnson, a forward for the University of Florida collapsed during a game against Florida state earlier this month. He has since been released from the hospital, however the cause of the collapse remains unknown.

Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 over the summer leading some to believe his collapse is linked to the virus.
