Tennessee had another player in the transfer portal. This time it’s offensive lineman Gerald Mincey.
Mincey is an offensive tackle from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to utsports.com, he weighs approximately 6-6 and 337 pounds. He was a redshirt junior last year.
He played in all 13 games, including the bowl game where he started in seven of those matchups.
Although he initially announced he would return to Tennessee, he decided to complete his college education elsewhere.
He was projected to start at tackle for the 2024 Volunteers team and will now leave Tennessee.
After transferring from the Florida Gators, he played for Tennessee for the past two seasons, where he had double-digit games for the Gators in 2021 and ranked 689th overall according to the On3 industry rankings. .
He was recruited by numerous schools across the country before heading to Florida and later joining the Tennessee Volunteers.
Although Mincey found himself in legal trouble after a simple possession charge, the talented tackle still played for Coach Heupel and his offensive staff.
As a result of his accusations, restrictions were placed on him as punishment, but this never completely stopped him from playing.
If Mincey were to leave the Volunteers and transfer, they would have to look for a replacement.
It’s unclear who would get time at blocker; However, the Volunteers have a new freshman, Bennett Warren, who could shake things up in practice.
Warren is a 6’8 (325 lbs) prospect from Sugar Land, Texas. Tennessee fans will get their first look at Warren as he plays in the All-American Bowl on January 6.
