“My deepest condolences go out to Corey and his entire family,” Louisville Cardinals football coach Scott Satterfield said in a statement.

“This horrible virus has affected so many people, and it’s even more difficult when it touches someone in the UofL football family,” he added. “We have been in contact with Corey and his family, and are here to support him during this extremely difficult time.”
