The Mountain West's reigning Defensive Player of the Year announced on Thursday that he would be returning to San Diego State for one last season, taking advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Mensah averaged 7 points and nearly 7 rebounds per game, and led the conference with 2.2 blocked shots per game.
“I am very happy to get this announcement out of the way,” Mensah said. “I really appreciate everyone at San Diego State giving me the time to make this very important decision. I have explored my options and after consultation with many people: my advisors, family, NBA scouts, general managers, and others, I have decided that to achieve my goals, the best thing for me is to return to San Diego State for one more year.”
