Gerald Mincey criticizes Tennessee supporters and says he endured an MCL tear during the previous season.
The Kentucky Wildcats landed an important commitment from Tennessee Volunteers offensive lineman Gerald Mincey, helping bolster the Big Blue Wall heading into the 2024 season.
A former Florida transfer as well, Mincey is best known for his effectiveness in the run game, and now to the BBN, he will become a fan-favorite for calling out the Volunteer fanbase.
Mincey put out a tweet on Thursday afternoon that mentions him seeing the negative comments from the Tennessee fanbase, and that he also played with a torn MCL this past season in Knoxville.
Mincey also let everyone know he’s looking forward to the Wildcats’ November 2nd game at Tennessee.
One thing that the transfer portal has brought is even more nastiness from fanbases of schools that lost players to the portal. We all also know that Tennessee fans have a section of the fanbase that can be the worst, and this is yet another instance that gives credence to that belief.
For Kentucky, Mincey is projected to be a vital piece of the o-line and will likely enter spring practice in a position battle for the starting right tackle spot with another former transfer in Courtland Ford.

Zalance Heard Listed In Tennessee Student Directory
According to several reports, former LSU Tigers offensive tackle Zalance Heard is enrolled in classes in the Tennessee student directory. Heard was the top available offensive lineman in the transfer portal and was someone that Tennessee’s coaching staff identified early in the cycle. He could come in and compete for starting left tackle snaps; Heard has a ton of talent and now gets to see the football field in a more expansive role than he did in his one season with the LSU Tigers.
Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee won’t be replacing as many starters next year as he initially thought, but the Vols did lose several offensive line contributors to the NCAA Transfer Portal. They scoured the portal for another offensive tackle who could come in and get snaps, and Heard was his top target. Heard was the No. 15 player in the 2023 signing class, according to 247Sports’ Composite Rankings. The Louisianna native opted to stay home and play his college football for the LSU Tigers, choosing them over several premium programs. After one season in Baton Rouge, Heard entered the transfer portal and explored his options. Former LSU Tigers OT Zalance Heard during his official visit to LSU.
