Tensions Run High at University of Alabama at Birmingham Football Program After Alleged Stabbing Incident
A dark cloud has settled over the University of Alabama at Birmingham's (UAB) football program after two teammates were allegedly stabbed by a teammate on Saturday morning, just hours before the team's game against the University of South Florida. The incident occurred at the Football Operations Building, and police have taken one player into custody, who is now facing serious charges.
According to a statement from UAB, both victims are in stable condition, but their identities remain undisclosed for privacy reasons. The university has assured that it prioritizes the safety and well-being of all students involved and that an investigation is underway.
The incident occurred just as the team was preparing to take the field, and several players opted out of playing due to the traumatic event. Despite this, the game proceeded with 29 players being honored on Senior Day at Protective Stadium in Birmingham. The UAB team ultimately lost the game 48-18 to South Florida.
As news of the incident spread, concerns grew among fans, friends, and family members about the well-being of those involved. While one player faces serious charges, including aggravated assault and attempted murder, it remains unclear what prompted such a drastic and violent act.
UAB's Interim Head Coach Alex Mortensen expressed his concern for the players' safety but did not provide further details on the incident or the team's response to the crisis. The university has maintained that it will not comment further until the investigation is complete.

. one player's facing serious charges which is crazy, i wonder what went down in that Football Ops buildin? didnt see any vids or pics tho lol, think uab should be more open about it tho, but idk if its too early. anyway, my heart goes out to the victims and their families 
this incident at UAB is wild... one of the players stabbed 2 teammates like wut happened?! and another player is in custody face serious charges too... i feel bad for those students they dont deserve this 
like how could someone stab their own teammate in real life? 
i feel bad for the victims tho, hopefully they can recover soon 
and as for the player who stabbed them... well that's just not okay at all 
uab needs to do a better job of addressing this stuff, i know they are investigating but it's been like 24 hours and we still haven't heard anything 
i mean i know stuff happens but stabbing ppl is literally insane idk wut got into those players minds 1 sec they r gonna face serious charges now lol guess u can say the game wasnt exactly fun for them 
Senior Day was still lit tho Protective Stadium is always a sick venue lets hope the victims get well soon
