Update: Barr says the news comes from Minter's agent.
Minter (5-9, 205) joined the Jaguars after one season at Garden City (Kan.) Community College. He has rushed for 2,199 yards on 483 carries with 12 touchdowns in three seasons with South Alabama. His best year came as a senior in 2019 when he accumulated 1,057 yards on 193 attempts with five trips into the end zone.
Minter has shown off some versatility, adding 77 receptions for 657 yards with a receiving touchdown in those three years. His 161.9 all-purpose yards per game last year ranked third in the nation.
"He's had an outstanding career on the football field," Jaguars coach Steve Campbell said in November. "He's been a great football player doing a lot of different things for us — running the football, catching passes, and on special teams. I've been blessed to have coached a lot of good players over the years, including a lot of good backs, but Tra is special."
