"Notre Dame transfer quarterback Kenny Minchey has flipped his commitment from Nebraska to Kentucky, he told ESPN on Monday. One day after Minchey announced his commitment to the Cornhuskers, the redshirt sophomore reversed course and signed to play for new head coach Will Stein and the Wildcats. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound passer from Hendersonville, Tenn., will join the SEC program with two more years of eligibility. Minchey officially entered the transfer portal on Jan. 2 and is the No. 9 player in ESPN's transfer quarterback rankings."
"He's a significant addition for Stein, the first-year Kentucky coach hired on Dec. 1 after a three-year run as offensive coordinator at Oregon. Stein is still coaching with the Ducks during their College Football Playoff run. Kentucky brought in Arizona State transfer quarterback Sam Leavitt, ESPN's No. 2 ranked transfer QB, for an official visit over the weekend but pivoted to pursuing Minchey on Sunday after Leavitt chose to take an official visit to LSU."
Kenny Minchey, a Notre Dame transfer quarterback, flipped his commitment from Nebraska and signed with Kentucky to play under new head coach Will Stein. The 6-foot-2, 208-pound redshirt sophomore from Hendersonville, Tennessee, will join the SEC program with two years of eligibility after entering the transfer portal on Jan. 2. Minchey spent 2025 as Notre Dame's backup to CJ Carr after a close offseason competition and appeared in six games, throwing for 196 yards on 20-of-26 passing and rushing for 84 yards and a touchdown. Kentucky pursued Sam Leavitt but pivoted to Minchey after Leavitt chose an official visit to LSU, and the Wildcats needed a quarterback following Cutter Boley's transfer to Arizona State. Will Stein has added six transfers across multiple positions since the portal window opened.
