Ex-WVU Portal Commit Transfers to Another Big 12 School

West Virginia will see Minkins on the opposing sideline next season.

Former Louisville safety Josh Minkins Jr. initially chose West Virginia over offers from Cincinnati, Georgia Tech, and Tulsa.

Earlier this month, Minkins announced on social media that he would not attend WVU, re-opening his recruitment in the transfer portal. On Tuesday, he found his new home, transferring to Cincinnati to reunite with his former head coach Scott Satterfield.

In 2022, Minkins played a big part in the Cardinals' defense recording 55 tackles, three pass breakups, one sack, one interception, and a forced fumble. Minkins started the team's opener against Georgia Tech this season but missed some time with a hamstring injury. Once he returned to action, he saw his playing time decrease and fell into more of a rotational role with Cam'Ron Kelly and Devin Neal. He finished the season with 21 tackles in eight games (three starts).
