Duke football program will reportedly give former Tulane QB Darian Mensah an $8 million NIL deal to commit to them from the transfer portal

NIL has changed the game in college sports, and that was on display this week as quarterback Darian Mensah became the highest-paid college football player after transferring to Duke earlier this month.

A three-star high school prospect two years ago out of California, Darian Mensah hit the transfer portal with an eye-popping asking price that perhaps best illustrated what name, image and likeness has turned into within college football.
