Florida State OL Andrew Boselli Announces Recovery from Coronavirus

Florida State offensive lineman Andrew Boselli announced Friday that he has recovered from the coronavirus on the school's official website.

Boselli wrote that he was told by his doctor that he had a "mild" case of COVID-19, which included a 103-degree fever, chills and shortness of breath.

Boselli's father, former Jacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Tony Boselli, was also diagnosed with the coronavirus. He spent three days in intensive care but has since recovered.

The 22-year-old Boselli noted that coronavirus made its way through his family with himself, his father, his mother and his brother all getting diagnosed. All of his family members have managed to make a full recovery.

Boselli also offered a word of warning to those who still aren't taking COVID-19 as seriously as they should:

"And, for me, I know I'm counting down the days until I can be around my coaches and teammates again, especially after the way they supported me over the last few weeks.

"But the only way for that to happen is listen to the experts and follow their guidance.

"Because even if this doesn't turn into a big thing for you, it could have an impact on your parents, your grandparents, or someone else's family.

"This is something that needs to be taken seriously. And if we all do our part, we can get through it."

Boselli added: "I promise, even if you're young and healthy, you do not want this virus."

While the 2020 college football season is supposed to start in late August, there are concerns that it will be shortened or perhaps even canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Spring practice is already being impacted by COVID-19, which means that teams could also be ill-prepared if and when the season does start.

If and when the 2020 season does begin, it will be Boselli's redshirt senior campaign. He figures to compete for a starting job  after appearing in 10 games and making two starts at center last season.
