Miami Hands Keys to New QB Darian Mensah Ahead of Spring Debut

Saturday’s spring game offers the first look at his fit in Shannon Dawson’s offense.

Overview

Miami plans to debut Darian Mensah in its spring game Saturday, giving the transfer his first live snaps with the Hurricanes.
Duke sued Mensah over an NIL contract during his transfer process, and a settlement a week later cleared his move to Miami.
Mensah led Duke to the ACC title last season with 3,973 passing yards and 34 touchdowns, the top marks in the conference.
Coach Mario Cristobal called him a complete professional with strong command of the system, reflecting swift buy-in inside the locker room.
Mensah has been learning a pro‑style scheme and said offseason work with Jordan Palmer boosted his mechanics and throwing power.
