SLEEPER: Miami’s Darian Mensah Has the TOOLS to Break ACC’s Heisman Drought in 2026

Описание: The ACC’s decade-long Heisman drought faces its biggest threat yet—can Darian Mensah finally bring the trophy back to the conference? Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs break down the top ACC Heisman candidates, including Miami’s new quarterback Darian Mensah, Louisville’s explosive running back Isaac Brown, and SMU’s dual-threat Kevin Jennings. They dissect FanDuel’s latest Heisman odds, explore the media hype around Arch Manning, and debate which non-quarterback could emerge as this year’s surprise contender.

The hosts also forecast ACC football win totals, spotlighting why Virginia Tech’s 7.5 over-under could be a betting trap, and deliver a rapid-fire schedule analysis for top conference teams. Shifting to college basketball, Alex Donno and Kenton Gibbs preview Miami vs. NC State—a crucial matchup with ACC Tournament double-bye implications and NCAA seeding on the line. Which program will seize momentum heading into March?
