Duke University filed a lawsuit Tuesday against star quarterback Darian Mensah in an effort to block his planned move through the NCAA transfer portal, accusing him of breaching the terms of his contract with the school.
The legal action, filed in Durham County Superior Court, sought an injunction and temporary restraining order to prevent Mensah from entering the portal and potentially joining another program. However, a judge denied that request from the bench Tuesday, sports attorney Darren Heitner, who is representing Mensah, told ESPN.
