UAB football player accused of stabbing 2 teammates before game

Daniel Mincey faces aggravated assault and attempted murder charges after stabbing two teammates who were hospitalized in stable condition before UAB's scheduled game, officials said.

  • On Nov. 22, at least two UAB players suffered stab wounds at the UAB Football Operations Center and were taken to UAB Hospital in stable condition, university spokesperson Alicia Rohan said.
  • Amid an ongoing investigation, UAB Police and Public Safety said it is probing an assault at the Football Operations Center, while university spokespersons declined to disclose the motive.
  • UAB player Daniel Israel Mincey was taken into custody and booked into Jefferson County Jail Saturday, facing aggravated assault and attempted murder charges, according to university and local records.
  • Despite the incident, UAB elected to play its 3 p.m. ET game, with Mortensen saying `those guys really wanted to play today` and support offered for players sitting out.
  • UAB, now 3-8 after the game, lost 48-18 to South Florida and will finish their season at Tulsa on Nov. 29 as this remains a developing story.
