One of the athletes who returned to the USC campus Wednesday for voluntary workouts tested positive for the coronavirus, the university says.

The life of former USC and Chargers center Max Tuerk will be celebrated during a “paddle out” ceremony in Dana Point on Saturday.

A COVID-19 test is one of several pre-participation requirements athletes must complete before beginning activities. The school said in a Tuesday statement that its athletic department’s medical staff “will make the final determination on a student-athlete’s clearance to participate in voluntary workouts.”

In addition to the 56 football players, nine members of the men’s water polo team, three members of the women’s soccer team and one member of the men’s basketball team also underwent COVID-19 tests. The Trojans previously stated that any athlete who tests positive for COVID-19 will receive medical treatment and be required to isolate until cleared. The school is providing quarantine housing and will also use contact tracing to determine if others had been exposed.“The reality is that we expect to have positive tests and outbreaks in our university community, including in Athletics,” USC’s chief medical officer Dr.

The second phase of the Trojans’ return-of-athletics plan is targeted for July 6 . The third phase is supposed to begin July 13 . The return plans for student-athletes in all other sports remains undecided.
