‘Scary’ Miami QB Darian Mensah Has ACC Coaches on High Alert
Multiple ACC coaches believe the Miami Hurricanes are even more dangerous after adding transfer QB Darian Mensah.
The Miami Hurricanes narrowly missed a national championship last season, falling to the Indiana Hoosiers. This year, the Hurricanes made significant moves in the transfer portal, adding star players like Damon Wilson II, Cooper Barkate, Vandrevius Jacobs, and Keona Davis. The star of the group is four-star transfer quarterback Darian Mensah, who steps in for Arizona Cardinals rookie Carson Beck.
Mensah's presence has opposing ACC coaches on high alert, particularly given the Hurricanes' returning talent of running back Mark Fletcher and star receiver Malachi Toney. Coaches have lauded Mensah's accuracy on the run, deep throws, and ability to make difficult throws outside the pocket. An anonymous ACC general manager even called Mensah a "scary" player due to his accuracy, mobility, and efficiency in connecting with playmakers.
While the Hurricanes will miss key defensive players, Mensah's addition could level the playing field against ACC defenses.
