BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A University of Alabama at Birmingham football player is facing charges of attempted murder and assault, accused of stabbing two teammates hours before a UAB home game last weekend, court documents showed Monday.

Daniel Mincey, a 20-year-old offensive lineman, is charged with attempted murder and assault, according to the court records filed in Jefferson County. Authorities wrote in charging documents that Mincey stabbed both men with a knife though available court documents did not describe what led up to the alleged assault before Saturday’s game.

The stabbing occurred on campus at the Football Operations Building, hours before UAB played the University of South Florida, officials said.

The team’s online roster lists Mincey as a 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman from Pompano Beach, Florida, who was previously at the University of Kentucky.

Court records did not immediately show if Mincey had a lawyer who could comment on the case.

“Saturday was a very sad day for UAB football and for UAB athletics,” UAB Athletic Director Mark Ingram said at a news conference Monday.

The two injured players have been released from the hospital and are recovering, interim head coach Alex Mortensen said Monday.

Court documents identified the players who were stabbed as Joshua Underwood and JaSire Peterson, both defensive linemen. Underwood is a freshman from Fultondale, Alabama and Peterson a redshirt sophomore from Union City, New Jersey.

“They appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers,” Mortensen said. Both Ingram and Mortensen declined to discuss the details of what happened, citing the investigation.

The Blazers lost 48-18 to South Florida to fall to 3-8 on the season and 1-6 in the American Conference. Their last game is Nov. 29 at Tulsa.
