Colasurdo won the 2019-2020 South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year in football after he led Chapman High School to a 15-0 record and the state championship in Class AAA. Colasurdo accounted for 51 touchdowns, 36 passing and 15 rushing, as a senior and threw for more than 3,000 yards.
Georgia State officials said they could not comment on an individual athlete’s health in providing this statement: “Georgia State Athletics works with its medical partners to provide the best possible care to its student-athletes. The GSU medical staff regularly reviews the latest information and recommendations about SARS-CoV-2 infection in athletes, including information about cardiac concerns, and implements all relevant evaluation and treatment protocols.
“We believe these protocols are what will keep us safe this season.”
