Josh Mensah brings size, versatility, and ball-hawking upside to New Mexico’s secondary
Mensah is a fresh-faced defensive back for New Mexico in the 2026 season who projects as a multi-tool piece in the Lobos’ secondary: scouting outlets describe him as a two-way athlete with cornerback’s build, strong instincts, and the versatility to play safety, corner, or even receiver, while his high-school film showed disruptive plays like interceptions, pass breakups, and a pick-six. If you want a defensive back with range, feel for the ball, and the kind of flexibility coaches love, he’s a sneaky interesting fit.
