The brother of a former Tennessee Vols player was arrested for attempted murder on Saturday.

UAB defensive lineman Daniel Mincey was arrested on Saturday after allegedly stabbing two teammates, according to a report from AL.com, before the Blazers’ game against USF.

“We’re grateful to report that two players injured in an incident this morning at the Football Operations Building are in stable condition,” said UAB in a statement. “Our thoughts are with them and their families as they recover. The suspect — another player — remains in custody.”

“An argument between two teammates escalated inside the team’s football headquarters and turned violent when a player pulled out a knife and attacked his teammate,” reported Football Scoop’s John Brice.

Daniel Mincey, who started his career at Kentucky, is the younger brother of former Tennessee offensive lineman Gerald Mincey, who played for the Vols in 2022 and 2023. Gerald Mincey also played at Florida and Kentucky.

Gerald and Daniel were at Kentucky together in 2024. Both players attended Cardinal Gibbons High School in Florida.
