Darian Mensah Named AP Midseason All-America Quarterback

Peoria Bloomington, IL, October 15, 2026 —

Miami quarterback Darian Mensah has been recognized as the Associated Press midseason All-America quarterback, and UCLA earned three spots on the first team, according to the information provided about the selections.

The details available do not identify the UCLA players who received first-team recognition or specify their positions. They also do not clarify whether Mensah’s quarterback honor is itself a first-team selection. No announcement date, selection criteria or additional honorees were provided.

The recognition places Mensah among the players noted in the AP’s midseason All-America selections. UCLA’s three first-team spots are a separate detail in the summary, which does not name the Bruins involved. Further information would be needed to describe the full roster of honorees or compare the selections across teams.

The information provided does not include statistics, comments from Mensah or UCLA, or details about how the selections were determined. It therefore establishes the reported honors but offers no additional context about the players’ seasons or the process behind the recognition.
