Earlier today, Roll Tide Wire reported that 5 Alabama football players tested positive for the coronavirus.
BamaInsider.com reached out to university officials for confirmation, but at this time, there has been no official confirmation.
But according to another source, of the 5 players, one is a quarterback, lineman, and a couple of skill players.
Source did not specify names, nor did I ask. Did say it was one lineman, a couple skill position players and one quarterback. @CBS_42

It should also be noted that this was not organized team activity, nor a voluntary workout — which begins next week.
The players seen in videos are Alabama players gathering together in their free time and on their own.
Last week, SEC presidents and chancellors all voted to allow voluntary in-person athletic activities on campus beginning on June 8.
This also comes as teams have been back on campus after the NCAA voted to allow athletes in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to resume voluntary on-campus workouts, beginning June 1.
The vote to resume on-campus team activities lifts a prohibition that has been in place since March, when the coronavirus began to take the United States by storm resulting in the cancellation of the SEC/NCAA tournaments as well as spring sports and spring semesters.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.
