UAB football players stabbed by teammate at team facility before game vs. South Florida, per reports

Two UAB football players suffered stab wounds in an incident that occurred at the school's football facility on Saturday morning, according to AL.com. The suspect, another UAB player, is in custody, the school said in a statement. The two injured players are in stable condition after being transported to UAB Hospital with non-life-threatening wounds. An investigation into the incident is underway.

The school has not identified any of the players involved, but Jefferson County (Ala.) jail records show that Daniel Mincey, a redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Pompano Beach, Florida, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder. Mincey, who spent his freshman season at Kentucky before transferring to UAB, was booked at 12:40 p.m. Saturday and remains in custody. 

"We're grateful to report that two players injured in an incident this morning at the Football Operations Building are in stable condition. Our thoughts are with them and their families as they recover. The suspect -- another player -- remains in custody and an investigation is taking place," the school statement reads, via ESPN.  

The incident occurred hours before the Blazers were scheduled to play South Florida at 3 p.m. ET at Protective Stadium in Birmingham. The team elected to proceed with the game as scheduled, the school said. 

"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," the statement says. 

UAB entered Saturday's game with a 3-7 record after firing coach Trent Dilfer on Oct. 12. Alex Mortensen has served as interim coach since Dilfer's dismissal.
