Gerald Mincey enters transfer portal as Tennessee will need a new starter up front.
This season, Mincey started six games despite struggling with ailments towards the end. During the 2022 season, he started seven games and made nine appearances while playing left tackle. Mincey moved here after the 2021 season from Florida.
With just one season left of eligibility, it’s possible that he’s seeking for another chance to show off his skills at left tackle. He was anticipated to return to his right tackle job for the 2023 campaign. With the arrival of John Campbell a year ago, Mincey assumed a new job at left tackle. Both Cooper Mays, the center, and Campbell are expected back. Tennessee is still awaiting guard Javontez Spraggins’ decision.
The portal is still churning, and Tennessee needs a starter right tackle right now.
The only remaining player with experience at the position is Dayne Davis. Shamurad Umarov might be a possibility. Bennett Warren, a four-star tackle, will also soon be a student on campus. However, if the staff feels that they need something other than Davis, they might still add an experienced option through the transfer portal.
