The Syracuse Orange first started recruiting Kevin Mensah in the spring which culminated in a visit by Syracuse Defensive Coordinator Chuck Bullough in May of this year. Mensah would go on to camp at UMass, Ohio State, Syracuse, Boston College, Connecticut, Florida, and Temple over the summer. In July, Mensah listed his top six schools as Arizona State, Boston College, Florida, Florida State, Massachusetts and Syracuse.
Since then, Syracuse, UMass and Boston College have been recruiting Mensah the hardest, Mensah said through direct messages on Twitter, but other top programs remain in contact as well.
