The coronavirus continues to show that is does not care how old or young you are, how much money you have, or how insanely famous you might be, it will affect anybody at anytime.
According to The Advocate, former LSU QB Jamie Howard has not only tested positive for COVID-19, his son and St. Thomas High School QB Walker Howard, who is a highly-recruited young quarterback, has also tested positive as well.
Howard called on people to take the virus seriously and predicts that “maybe half of us” will be exposed at some point. He described the coronavirus symptoms as “the flu on steroids” and says that the respiratory issue only makes it worse.
“I think everyone needs to know this is a very serious thing,” Howard said in the interview. “When it’s all said and done, I think a lot of us, maybe half of us, are going to be exposed to it at some point. I think we’re all just reacting differently to it. You don’t want people scared to see you or anything. People need to know how serious this is. This is like the flu on steroids. Then you add the respiratory issue with it, it’s no joke at all.”
Howard played four years at LSU, but he was also a good baseball player that it got him drafted No. 59 overall by the Atlanta Braves in 1992 MLB Draft.
His son, Walker Howard, is a high school sophomore QB that is a 2022 dual-threat prospect. He has already received scholarship offers from Alabama, Baylor, Texas A&M and LSU.
