Duke quarterback Darian Mensah will return to the Blue Devils in 2026, according to multiple media reports.
Mensah, who just finished his first year at Duke after transferring from Tulane, was exploring the NFL before his decision to return to the Blue Devils. He will be a redshirt junior next season.
Duke will play Arizona State in this year’s Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, which is a rematch of the 2014 Sun Bowl thriller.
Mensah, who is from San Luis Obispo, California, led the ACC with 3,646 yards passing and 30 touchdown passes. His 8.1 yards passing per attempt ranks third nationally among FBS quarterbacks with at least 400 attempts.
Behind the arm of Mensah, Duke won three of its last four ACC games in the regular season and earned a spot in the ACC Championship game, where it defeated Virginia.
The Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl kicks off at noon, Wednesday, Dec. 31.
