NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – Darien Mensah is now at Duke, and that means Ty Thompson will be Tulane’s QB1 against Florida this Friday. It’s Thompson’s first collegiate start. “I’m genuinely excited to watch him play. Hats off to the way he responded to his role this year. He’s earned my respect just how he carries himself as a man. It has nothing to do what he does between the white lines, it’s who he is as a person and as a human,” said Tulane coach Jon Sumrall.
