UAB’s massive transfer OL Daniel Mincey brings SEC-sized upside — but off-field baggage clouds the picture
Daniel Mincey is a 6-foot-4, 310-pound offensive lineman who arrived at UAB in 2025 after transferring from Kentucky, where he redshirted and never appeared in a game; recruiting services had him as a three-star prospect and one of the nation’s lower-end interior OL rankings, but the real draw is his size, interior versatility, and SEC-developed frame. In 2025, he was listed as active but had no available game log or stats, so the tape-and-trust question is bigger than the box score. The fit is talent-first, risk-heavy: intriguing power potential, but major character and availability concerns dwarf the on-field resume.
