Duke Hosts Tulane QB Darian Mensah Following Maalik Murphy's Transfer Portal Entry

Darian Mensah, a top-ranked transfer prospect, visits Duke as the Blue Devils seek a replacement for record-setting quarterback Maalik Murphy.

Duke quarterback Maalik Murphy announced his entry into the NCAA transfer portal after a standout season with 2,933 passing yards and a school-record 26 touchdown passes.
Murphy's departure leaves a key vacancy for Duke, which finished the 2024 season with a 9-3 record under head coach Manny Diaz.
Tulane quarterback Darian Mensah, ranked as the top transfer portal QB by ESPN and 247 Sports, is visiting Duke as a potential replacement for Murphy.
Mensah led Tulane to a 9-4 record and the American Athletic Conference championship game in 2024, throwing for 2,723 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions as a redshirt freshman.
If Mensah joins Duke, he would bring three years of eligibility and a proven track record of efficiency, including leading the AAC in completion percentage and yards per pass.
