Boise State outside linebackers coach and co-special teams coordinator Zac Alley says he tested positive for the coronavirus about a week ago and spent a day in the hospital, but he is currently symptom free.
Alley is the first known Boise State coach to publicly acknowledge testing positive, and he said as far as he knows, no other coach on the football staff has shown symptoms.
In a meeting with local sports media, Alley said, “I had no symptoms, no anything, and in about a 24-hour period I went from 0 to 100,” Alley said. “I just had some sharp pains in my chest and all that. It got to a point that night where I was pretty short of breath and couldn’t breathe, and thankfully my girlfriend was like ‘we’re going to the ER’. When we got there they were saying thank God you came in.
“I didn’t think it was that big of a deal and then next thing I know I was like I probably need to go to the hospital. I don’t recommend it to anybody. It was definitely one of the worst pains of my life.”
