Aaron Taylor+FollowDuke’s Darian Mensah sparks big hopes for 2026Darian Mensah’s decision to stay at Duke after a breakout season has Blue Devils fans buzzing. The former Tulane transfer not only led Duke to its first ACC title since 1989, but also ranked among the nation’s top quarterbacks with 3,646 passing yards and a 30–5 TD-INT ratio. With Mensah back, the big question is: can Duke reload at receiver and keep the momentum going? Losing top targets like Cooper Barkate and Sahmir Hagans means the transfer portal could be key.
