Daniel Mincey was a surprise addition to Kentuckyâs 2024 high school signing class as the South Florida native joined his older brother, Gerald, on the UK roster. The younger Mincey stayed with the program through the first transfer portal window and completed spring practice before entering college football free agency in the spring.
The offensive line transfer is 14th Kentucky player to land at a Group of Five program this offseason.
