'20 FL Gerald Mincey (UF Transfer)

[SDV]

Look who else I found

 

[Mr French]

could be one of bottom five also.

Possible but more unlikely that is the case.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Possible but more unlikely that is the case.

if there's only 5 OL, quite likely

Too bad there isn't only 5 OL on the roster I guess.

yeah, really throws a wrench in my statement

We need to get Dooley on the horn to make it happen.

IF Cade and Calbert were to come back the line could look like:

Wright Carvin Cooper Cade Mincey
or or or
Spraggins Carvin Calbert

That’s legit depth at both tackle and guard spots, no more Ollie Lane and Dayne Davis.

And Crawford, Parker, and Perry will develop too.

Robinson is still there too right?

Line was busy, he’s talking to Rommel.

Yes.

Josh Heupel Discusses Florida Transfer Gerald Mincey

Interesting connection

"The 6'6", 315lb offensive tackle also has ties to one of Tennessee's top recruiting targets left in the 2022 cycle, Ahmad Moten. The two were former teammates at perennial South Florida powerhouse Cardinal Gibbons."

 

[Maxwell865]

Thomas Goldkamp, who covers the Gators for Swamp247, the 247Sports site covering Florida, said Mincey, a three-star transfer with an 84 rating from 247Sports, has “excellent upside” and probably should have played more than he did during the 2021 season.

Tennessee’s staff has familiarity with Florida native Mincey from the recruiting process as he had an offer from head coach Josh Heupel and offensive line coach Glen Elarbee at UCF, so the Vols will know about what he can bring to the table. Listed as the backup left tackle on Florida’s depth chart,

Mincey appeared in nine games in 2021 and entered the transfer portal shortly after the Gators finished a 6-6 regular season by beating Florida State with an interim coach after firing head coach Dan Mullen. Mincey was rated as a three-star prospect and ranked the No. 657 overall player and No. 48 offensive tackle when he signed with the Gators out of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale.

“Mincey was a player Florida's coaches were excited to land in the recruiting process,” Goldkamp told GoVols247. “They loved his foot quickness and agility. Coupled with his long wingspan, they thought those attributes could make Mincey an excellent tackle in the SEC over time.”

Regardless of his role next season, Mincey will add competition and quality depth at a position of need, and the luxury for Tennessee is the opportunity to develop him over his multiple years of remaining eligibility.

“Though he didn't play much at Florida in his first two years, Mincey could well be ready for a starting role in 2022,” Goldkamp said. “UF's staff prioritized experience heavily on the O-line, perhaps one of the reasons the quality of depth dropped off rapidly if there were injuries to starters. But
with the Gators shy on depth on the O-line, Mincey was hardly a young player they could afford to lose.

“He's got excellent upside and probably should have gotten more run at Florida in 2021.”

Believe LWS said this kid was already locked in and a done deal.

Idk if he’s practiced but I think once you have lodging or other on campus benefits you’re locked in.

I guess it’s officially official that Mincey is in.

I think he's been taking part in bowl practices.

 

[DaddyChad]

Good deal. Thanks for clarification guys.

 

[SugarCC]

This guy's practicing, right?

 

[sjt18]

And Crawford, Parker, and Perry will develop too.

Honestly I think it is crazy to write anyone off at this point. I have followed UT closely for about 30 years now. I don't think anyone has developed offensive players better or as quickly in that time... at least not since Cut left the first time.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Nice! Getting bowl reps, then spring and fall. Should be ready to go come the opener.

 

[InVOLuntary]

One of my inside sources told me this guy has been practicing with the team TIFWIW

 

[Revived2002]

Would be interesting to know whether he’s practiced and, if so, what that means for his status with the team

Someone should hit up Hubbs to get clarity

You mincey your words pretty good there !
