The entire team has been placed in quarantine.

Fifteen Rutgers football players have tested positive for COVID-19, according to Judith Persichilli, New Jersey's state health commissioner.

"several circumstances where indoor and outdoor gatherings in our state have led to community clusters of COVID-19," Persichilli said during a news conference.  She made mention of the party.

"There's been an outbreak of Rutgers football players, with 15 of them currently testing positive,'' Persichilli said during Gov. Phil Murphy's news briefing.

"These examples that we shared today account for 125 new cases of COVID-19 in our state. Every single one of those cases has the potential to infect other people. Their grandparents, parents, siblings, friends, love ones, and if any one of them have underlying conditions ... the result could be fatal."
