Jon Sumrall's old QB rumored to Miami has all of college football on alert

Our Summary
Darian Mensah, who led Duke to an ACC championship with nearly 4,000 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, is rumored to be considering entering the transfer portal. If Mensah enters the portal, he is expected to be linked to the Miami Hurricanes. Mensah previously worked with coach Jon Sumrall at Tulane, where he threw for 2,723 yards and 22 touchdowns, leading the team to the American Conference Championship game. After the 2024 season, he transferred to Duke with a significant deal reportedly worth $4 million. Despite the resources Duke committed to Mensah, rumors of his potential transfer have emerged as the deadline approaches.
Florida, which recently signed quarterback Aaron Philo, appears not to be pursuing Mensah despite Sumrall's current role there. If Mensah joins Miami, it would highlight ongoing dynamics in the transfer portal and issues of potential tampering in college football. Meanwhile, Florida and Miami have no scheduled future games unless they meet in the postseason
