UAB offensive lineman Daniel Mincey was arrested after stabbing two of his teammates in a training facility ahead of the team's game against South Florida on Saturday.

Mincey now faces aggravated assault and attempted murder charges. The two victims, whose injuries aren't life-threatening, remain in stable condition after being rushed to the hospital.

Mincey is a redshirt Freshman who hasn't appeared in any games this season after being a redshirt with Kentucky in 2024.

"We're grateful to report that two players injured in an incident this morning at the Football Operations Building are in stable condition," the UAB statement said. "Our thoughts are with them and their families as they recover. (Mincey) remains in custody and an investigation is taking place."

"The team elected to play today's game. UAB's top priority remains the safety and well-being of all of our students. Given patient privacy and the ongoing investigation, we have no further comment at this time."

UAB, who elected to go on with the game after the crime took place four hours prior, would end up losing to South Florida by a score of 48-18 as they fell to 3-8 on the season.
