Over the past three seasons of college football, Darian Mensah has been a consistent point-producer and led his team in each of the three programs he has played for. This season, Mensah is off to a great start with the Miami Hurricanes completing 89 percent of his passes for 1,211 yards with 14 touchdowns and zero interceptions. As a junior, Mensah was marked for the 2027 NFL Draft by scouts. In speaking with sources at multiple teams, they expect Mensah to have starter grade and be a first-round pick next April.
Sources told multiple teams that they like Mensah’s accuracy and poise. Mensah is listed at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, and sometimes the numbers listed are inaccurate and inflated, but team sources who have seen Mensah in person say his size is fine and not a problem for the NFL.
“He’s poised with great command and accuracy,” said an AFC national scout. “Don’t think the arm is high end but has won and done everywhere. A bit like Bryce Young and bigger. Not quite the improviser or brains of Bryce, but similar.”
