HEAD COACH TIM JANKOVICH
 
January 25 - Head Coach Tim Jankovich tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. He first experienced symptoms on Thursday evening and reported a low-grade fever to medical staff on Friday morning. Out of an abundance of caution, he self-isolated and did not travel to UCF for this past Saturday's game. He has not had close contact with any staff or student-athletes in the interim. The two other staff members who did not travel to UCF after being deemed close contacts will also self-quarantine per AAC and SMU protocols.
