UGA has none thus far. Curious if any SEC players have?

Our starting center, Eli Johnson (whose dad nearly died from COVID), just announced that he's opting out.

We have 5-6 but who really cares at this point. Most likely opted out of going 0-10 as opposed to opting out due to covid

We don’t have any so far. Terry Wilson considered it but decided to play.

Neil Farrell is taking his redshirt, believe he already had some issues with virus in his family

Auburn had a linebacker opt out over fears he could transmit the virus to his newborn (his reason, not mine.) I'm blanking on his name for some reason but he was gonna be in the rotation if not an outright starter.
Gus granted him a redshirt I believe.
ETA: Chandler Wooten

Great way to frame this.
No official Haiku-ist?
This board might need one.
