Former Liberty wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden announced Wednesday he tested positive for the novel coronavirus prior to the NFL Draft but made a full recovery in time for the Washington Redskins to select him in the fourth round. Gandy-Golden describ ed his symptoms as "mild" following a March 24 diagnosis. He said he self-quarantined for two weeks and was cleared to return April 7. The Redskins drafted him 2 1/2 weeks later on the final day of the three-day NFL Draft. "I feel 100% now and can't wait to get on the field for the Redskins ASAP!" Gandy-Golden said in a statement released by his agent.Tuesday evening, Liberty President Jerry Falwell Jr. hinted at Gandy-Golden's positive test during an appearance on Fox News. "Even the one student , who was an online student who never was on campus and tested positive, it turns out he quit school to go into the NFL Draft back early in March, even though he was online, but somehow that got press," Falwell said on "The Ingraham Angle." - Lynchburg N ews and Advance

A slew of scouts from the NFL and Canadian Football League were expected to attend Liberty football's pro day on April 7. The main attraction was wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden. While most eyes would have been on Gandy-Golden, players such as quarter back Buckshot Calvert and defensive end Jessie Lemonier could have significantly bolstered either their draft stock or generated consideration as free agent signees if things went well. Those opportunities were wiped out Thursday when Liberty announced i t canceled its annual pro day. The announcement was made in conjunction with the cancellation of the annual spring game, which was scheduled for April 4. The remaining 10 spring practices have been suspended indefinitely, and a decision on whether those practices will be made up this spring will likely come next week during a conference call with the ASUN Conference. "It seems to surely be headed in that direction, unless something changes," Flames coach Hugh Freeze said last week. "We'll be OK either w ay."The coaching staff was anticipating the players returning to campus this weekend, with the sixth practice scheduled for Monday. The staff, though, made contingency plans in case practices are canceled and ensured the players had the means to c ontinue training on their own. "We've got all the technology. We can send them cut-ups and tapes and all those things. We'll do what we can with whatever comes," Freeze said. "We're going to stay in contact with our kids, but it won't be the same as taki ng them to training tables and seeing them every day. You hope that our program has kind of set a standard that most want to chase to where they chose to do the right things academically, socially and physically, even when we're not together if it comes that way." - Lynchburg News and Advance

The NCAA approved Liberty's two-year Football Bowl Subdivision reclassification process this week, making the Flames the 130th full-fledged member of college football's top tier. The process was finalized when the NCAA Division I Strategic Vision and Pla nning Committee approved Liberty's annual report and updated strategic plan.Liberty had to meet several requirements for approval to play as an independent, unaffiliated with any conference, at the FBS level, which included financial commitment, s cholarship increase, facility improvements and minimum attendance. The football program is offering the maximum 85 scholarships allowed at the FBS level, an increase of 22 scholarships from when it was a member of the second-tier Football Championship Su bdivision. The Flames had 85 scholarship players on the roster last season. - Lynchburg News and Advance
