Anouncement:Tennessee Volunteers coach Josh Heupel got arrestered for..

For the game, Mincey—a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida—travelled home with the team. In his first game back as a college football player, Florida, the redshirt junior did not participate in any offensive plays.

Heupel said that Mincey’s decision to sit out the offensive lineup was made by the coach. However, Mincey was a member of the special teams field goal and PAT kick units. Heupel provided no further details on those choices during his press conference on Monday.

Was Mincey’s nonattendance at the offense a penalty for receiving a marijuana citation?

“We just decided not to play him on the offensive side of the ball,” Heupel stated.

At Neyland Stadium on Saturday (4 p.m. ET, SEC Network), No. 20 Tennessee (2-1) takes on UTSA (1-2).

When does Mincey suit up to play against UTSA?

This week will be long for us. Heupel stated, “We’ll get through the week.

The police report includes the citation details.

Mincey was pulled over by UTPD on September 14 at 11:12 p.m. in a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee near Cumberland Avenue and Henley Street in Knoxville. Mincey was cited by the police for misdemeanor simple possession and casual exchange after they confiscated the marijuana.

The team left for Florida on Friday. Mincey made a few limited appearances against the Gators on Saturday.

Jeremiah “J.J.” Crawford and Mincey had been trading reps at right tackle, but Crawford was the only one who started against Florida.

After the game, Heupel stated, “We just decided to go with J.J. (Crawford)” over Mincey.

Crawford found it difficult to defeat Florida. And in a normal situation, Mincey would have taken his place—if only momentarily. Mincey received 75 offensive snaps while Crawford played 91 in the season’s first two games.

Last season, Mincey started at left tackle but was replaced by Miami transfer John Campbell.

Two players are dismissed from the Tennessee football team by coach Josh Heupel.

On Friday, word leaked out that Tennessee Volunteers football coach Josh Heupel had dismissed two players.

Linebacker William Mohan and offensive lineman Savion Herring have been dismissed from the Volunteers, according to Adam Sparks of the Knoxville News Sentinel. Both were just taken into custody on suspicion of domestic violence.

William Mohan, a linebacker, was placed on indefinite leave after his arrest in South Knoxville on August 23. According to team spokesman Bill Martin on Friday, Mohan was let go on September 5. Savion Herring, an offensive lineman, was kicked off the team after being arrested this week on suspicion of domestic abuse. Sparks reported that Martin informed Knox News on Friday that Herring had also been fired from the team.

In the Volunteers’ opening two games of the season—a 59-10 triumph over Ball State and a 34-27 triumph over Pittsburgh—none of the players dressed for the team.

Domestic abuse issues involving players have been a problem for Tennessee in the past. This season, Bru McCoy, the starting wideout for the Vols, was a victim of domestic abuse while attending USC. But he has been a good citizen ever since moving to Knoxville.

It is likely that Heupel benched the two players because he didn’t need or desire the attention or distraction for his football team. The last thing he wants is for his team’s good start to be ruined by these kinds of rumors.
