Thankfully Willie Fritz and his son shined on a light on him. Tulane was his only FBS offer, and Idaho State + Lindenwood offered after them.
California and Texas, two ironically very different politically led states for the past two decades, have the similar restrictive freedom of movement laws for high school transfers.
I think this is a major reason why he went unnoticed. We all know HS quarterback recruiting is more advanced than everything else — which have all been pushed up timeline wise as well.
Coaches really have devalued senior stats and film; Summeral talks about this in reference to Mensah in one of the articles i read. The first HS he was at was actually really good at football. They went 10-2 his freshman year. He’s listed on the basketball team yet not the football roster. I believe he played JV. Their JV team went 10-1 as a freshman so he shined there.
His sophomore season was a COVID season so i imagine that messed things up a bit. Maxpreps says they went 0-5 but Darian’s highlights page says it was a two game season so idk. Either way, all this information — especially the junior year partially at WR — starts to paint a clearer picture. At the exposure camps, he’d get ignored. Mensah says because he lives in between the bay and LA that kids from his area are underrecruited.
Looking at Mensah’s senior stats reaffirmed to me that Dawson has the right approach in prioritizing accuracy before everything else. You want your quarterback to have high 60s or low 70s in completion percentage then in-person evaluations/workouts to determine if they have the combination of touch, mentality, velocity, footwork, etc to succeed at the next level.
Mensah’s senior year he had 17 passing touchdowns, 8 rushing touchdowns on 391 yards, about 2281 yards through the air and 8 interceptions.
I think Mensah is in a tier of three quarterbacks which include Trinidad Chambliss and Arch Manning. I don’t think it’s any coincidence that all three played basketball as well. It’s as if basketball is the new baseball (as a secondary sport) with the needed mobility quarterbacks need in this day and age.
Darian Mensah's journey to Duke: A modern-day American success story
The new athlete-compensation era isn't all bad. If you need proof, look no further than Duke's Darian Mensah, who cashed in on it and has a chance to see his star grow further against Illinois on Saturday.sports.yahoo.com
Great stuff, my comp for mensah is purdy
I think im higher on moore than most i put him over arch, i do like what arch showed as the year went on tho
Dawson prioritizing accuracy is the smart way to go, because to me accuracy is tied to your diagnosing and processing. How you layer throws, where you place the ball, how much strength you use it etc etc
