Miami transfer Darian Mensah draws Brady Quinn’s attention

FOX Sports analyst Brady Quinn’s review of college football’s transfer quarterbacks centres on Darian Mensah’s start at Miami, after spells with Tulane and Duke. Quinn also names Sam Leavitt and Dylan Raiola, though the available article text gives little detail on them.

Miami brought Mensah in after former Hurricanes quarterback Carson Beck exhausted his college eligibility. Quinn describes Mensah as a veteran presence for offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson, praising his accuracy from the pocket and composure under pressure.

Through four weeks, the article reports, Mensah had thrown 14 touchdown passes against 12 incompletions, with no interceptions. He had started 31 college games and developed a connection with receiver Malachi Toney, according to Quinn.

The Hurricanes were 4-0 and had yet to face a ranked opponent, Quinn wrote. Their next test in the article’s account was a visit to Death Valley, with Miami looking to build on its unbeaten start.
