Commits to Duke Mensah committed to Duke on Wednesday, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.
Impact According to Thamel on Monday, Maalik Murphy announced his intent to transfer colleges, leaving the Duke team without its 2024 season's starting quarterback. But not even multiple days since Monday, the Blue Devils may have found Murphy's successor. Being in the ACC offers Mensah better competition and more success he would have had a more challenging time achieving in the AAC. In 2024, the freshman completed 65.9 percent of 287 passes for 2,723 yards and a 22-6 TD-INT ratio. Mensah also logged 60 carries for 132 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Enters transfer portal Mensah announced he will enter the transfer portal Sunday, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.
Impact Mensah will look to find a new program after completing 189 of his 287 pass attempts for 2723 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions in 13 games played during the 2024 season. The freshman quarterback will have three years of eligibility remaining.
DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE
Solid in Thursday's loss Mensah completed 21 of 33 passes for 317 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Thursday's 34-24 defeat versus Memphis. He also had five rushes for eight yards.
Impact Despite his solid individual performance, Mensah and Tulane's loss on Thursday knocked the team out of the race for a spot in the College Football Playoff. He threw for over 300 yards for the third time this season and kept his team in the game as the run game was surprisingly shut down. He also tossed two touchdown passes for the third straight game. He will take on Army in the AAC Conference Championship game on Dec. 6.
NOVEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Leads dominant win over Navy Mensah completed 10 of 14 passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-0 win over Navy. He also had eight rushes for 57 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Mensah was excellent in Saturday's blowout win as he accounted for three touchdowns including a 14-yard rush to open up the scoring in the first quarter. The win secured the Green Wave's spot in the AAC Championship Game and keeps the team alive for a potential College Football Playoff berth. After a bye week, Mensah will face Memphis on Thanksgiving in the final regular season game of the season.
NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE
Solid production in blowout Mensah was 14-for-21 passing for 262 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 52-6 victory against Temple.
Impact Mensah had a solid performance Saturday as he threw for 262 yards -- his third most this season -- and tossed two touchdowns for the fifth time this season. He connected with Shazz Preston on a 53-yard touchdown in the second quarter, then found Alex Bauman for six yards in the third. He faces a difficult and very important matchup at Navy next.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
No touchdowns in blowout win Mensah completed 21 of 29 passes for 214 yards during Thursday's 34-3 victory against Charlotte.
Impact Mensah played well Thursday, but his production did not reflect it. He completed over 72 percent of his passes and threw for over 200 yards, yet his lack of touchdowns gave him a quiet performance. This is not all that surprising given the Green Wave's strong ground game, but it's just further evidence that Mensah is a better quarterback than he is a fantasy asset.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Tosses three TDs Saturday Mensah was 10-for-13 passing for 175 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 45-37 win over North Texas.
Impact Mensah had a solid outing Saturday, especially given he only attempted 13 passes. He tossed three touchdowns for the second time this season, however he also threw his third interception of the campaign. It was an efficient day for him, but the fact that the Green Wave ran the ball 47 times out of 60 offensive plays is a bad sign for Mensah. The Green Wave have larger aspirations than Mensah putting up big numbers, so he will likely not be the best option moving forward given how run-heavy the offense is.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Struggles versus Rice Mensah was 12-for-25 passing for 152 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-10 win over Rice. He also had five rushes for -11 yards.
Impact Mensah was unable to get going Saturday as he completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes and threw for under 175 yards for the fourth time in his last five games. He also ran for a season-low -11 yards. Although he did enough to earn his team yet another win, his lack of production during many of those wins has been concerning. Although he faces some favorable matchups coming up, it's hard to trust him to produce when the offense is so focused on running the ball with Makhi Hughes.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet in blowout win Mensah was 12-for-15 passing for 134 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 71-20 win against UAB.
Impact Mensah had an efficient passing day Saturday, however his services weren't needed much as the game got out of hand quickly. Despite his team scoring 37 points in the first half, Mensah was not involved in any of the scoring. He opened up the second half with a touchdown pass to Yulkeith Brown and was taken out of the game shortly after. Although he is clearly talented and can put up big numbers when it's needed of him, he may not get always enough opportunities if the Green Wave continues blowing out conference foes by running the ball.
OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE
Excellent in blowout win Mensah completed 18 of 22 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-10 win against South Florida.
Impact Mensah was dominant in Saturday's blowout win over South Florida as he completed over 80 percent of his passes for 326 yards and a season-high three touchdowns. It was his second game this season with over 325 passing yards, and he also tied a season high with 17 yards on the ground. It was easily his most impressive performance of the season and bodes very well for the rest of his season. Next up he has a favorable matchup at UAB before a bye week in Week 7.

Quiet in Saturday's win Mensah completed 11 of 17 passes for 83 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 41-33 win versus Louisiana.
Impact Mensah was not asked to do much in Saturday's win and ended up with a very quiet outing. He failed to throw for 100 yards, although he did throw one touchdown and did not turn the ball over for the first time since Week 1. He was also hindered by the fact that backup quarterback Ty Thompson rushed seven times for 23 yards and a touchdown, taking an opportunity away from Mensah to score. Mensah is clearly not the focal point of this offense, and in games where the Green Wave take an early lead, he may struggle to produce.

Impact Mensah struggled versus a solid Oklahoma defense Saturday as he completed fewer than 50 percent of his passes and turned the ball over twice for the second straight week. He tossed a touchdown to Makhi Hughes and had another chance to taken away, as backup Ty Thompson came into the game and threw a seven-yard touchdown late in the second quarter. Mensah's two toughest games are now behind him and he will look to get back on track Saturday at Louisiana-Lafayette.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Strong performance in close loss Mensah was 19-for-29 passing for 342 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 34-27 loss versus Kansas State. He also had eight rushes for negative nine yards.
Impact Mensah put together an impressive performance -- with the exception of a couple plays -- as he nearly lead the Green Wave to a massive upset. He threw for nearly 350 yards and tossed two touchdowns, both to Alex Bauman. His performance was not without costly mistakes though. With the game tied midway through the fourth quarter, he lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown by the Wildcats. Then, on the final drive he threw an interception in the redzone to clinch the game for Kansas State. While it was not a perfect performance, the freshman showed massive upside and clearly has the tools to put up elite numbers when conference play begins.

Excellent in debut Mensah was 10-for-12 passing for 205 yards and two touchdowns during Thursday's 52-0 win over Southeastern Louisiana.
Impact Mensah was surprisingly named as the team's starting quarterback ahead of Thursday's contest, beating out last season's backup Kai Horton and Oregon transfer Ty Thompson to the starting job. He proved why on Thursday, tossing for over 17 yards per attempt and throwing two touchdowns. While both Thompson and Horton got some playing time, after a strong debut it appears that Mensah will be the starting quarterback for the Green Wave.
SEPTEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
Starting season opener Mensah has been named as the starting quarterback for Tulane's season opener against Southeastern Lousiana, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.
Impact Mensah was recently listed as a co-starter along with Kai Horton and Ty Thompson on Tulane's official team depth chart, but it appears the redshirt freshman has earned the starting job to start the season. The move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Mensah was a late addition to the position battle, but the 6-foot-3 freshman will get his chance to shine in week 1.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Co-starter for Week 1 Mensah is listed as a co-starter for Tulane's game Thursday against Southeastern Louisiana.
Impact Mensah is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound quarterback who redshirted Tulane's 2023 season. He has infiltrated the QB race between Kai Horton and Ty Thompson, joining them as co-starters.
