Darian Mensah Named AP Midseason All-America First-Team Quarterback

Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 15, 2026 —

Miami quarterback Darian Mensah was named the first-team quarterback on the Associated Press midseason All-America team, according to the available announcement summary. UCLA also had three players selected to the team’s first team.

The summary identifies Mensah’s position and team, and notes that UCLA had three first-team selections. It does not name UCLA’s players or specify which positions they play. It also does not provide a date for the announcement, Mensah’s statistics, or details about the selection process.

The recognition is for the Associated Press’s midseason All-America team. No information was provided about other players selected to the team, additional team categories, or whether the selections were based on particular performance criteria. The summary also does not include statements from Mensah, Miami, UCLA or the Associated Press.

As a result, the available details establish Mensah’s first-team quarterback designation and the number of UCLA players selected to the first team, but offer no further information about the selections. The names of UCLA’s honorees, the announcement date and supporting performance details were not provided.
