The Duke football program got some really bad news on Friday — the deadline day for players to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
Duke star quarterback Darian Mensah plans to enter the portal, according to multiple reports.
This season, Mensah completed 66.8 percent of his passes for 3,973 yards and 34 touchdowns with just six interceptions. He led the ACC in both passing yards and passing touchdowns while helping the Blue Devils win the 2025 ACC Championship. He also ranks second nationally in passing yards and tied for second in passing touchdowns.
Mensah earned ACC Championship Game MVP honors and was named the AP ACC Newcomer Transfer of the Year, as well as a second-team All-ACC selection.
