Top Available Quarterbacks in the Transfer Portal: Darian Mensah & More

Duke quarterback Darian Mensah announced intentions to enter the 2026 college football transfer portal this past Friday evening, a shocking development given that he signed a lucrative two-year deal with the Blue Devils last offseason. He is the last major quarterback target available for needy programs and remains one of just eight players ranked inside the top 250 of Cooper Petagna's transfer rankings still on the board. Talent has dwindled in the transfer portal and is nearly dried up after it closed for new entrants on Jan. 16, though national championship participants will receive an additional five-day window to enter starting Jan. 20. LSU, Texas, Ohio State, Miami, Georgia, and Missouri are among the programs trending for the last remaining top targets in the transfer portal.
