Two UAB football players were injured by a teammate on Saturday morning at UAB\u2019s team facility, according to a school spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Two people were transported to UAB Hospital, Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service told AL.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UAB said the suspect is in custody and there is no threat to campus. An investigation is underway.<\/p>\n

Everyone involved is in \u201cstable condition\u201d and the team elected to play Saturday\u2019s home game against South Florida, the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

UAB declined to provide details on the suspected assailant.<\/p>\n

According to Jefferson County jail records, UAB defensive lineman Daniel Mincey was booked Saturday at 12:40 p.m. and charged with aggravated assault and attempted murder.<\/p>\n

Mincey spent 2024 at Kentucky and transferred to UAB before the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Saturday\u2019s game is set to kick off at 3 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

\u201cUAB\u2019s top priority remains the safety and well-being of all of our students,\u201d the university said in a statement. \u201cGiven patient privacy and the ongoing investigation, we have no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

UAB is 3-7 this season and fired coach Trent Dilfer last month. Offensive coordinator Alex Mortensen has served as interim coach since the change.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story and will be updated.<\/p>\n
