Kentucky’s Kenny Minchey Poised to Shake Up SEC After Notre Dame

Former Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey is once again on the move, and this time his destination is the SEC. Just days after announcing his commitment to Nebraska, Minchey reversed course and pledged to Kentucky, choosing to align his future with Wildcats head coach Will Stein.

The sudden flip sent shockwaves through the transfer portal landscape, but the reasoning behind it was clear. Minchey was searching for the best possible situation to develop as a quarterback, and Kentucky’s vision under Stein ultimately won out.
