Miami's Toney and Mensah Named Walter Camp Player of the Year Semifinalists
University of Miami wide receiver Malachi Toney and quarterback Darian Mensah have been named among the 20 semifinalists for the 2026 Walter Camp Player of the Year award, the school announced Nov. 11. Toney is one of only two wide receivers on the list, alongside Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, and has 73 catches for 1,027 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.
He is recovering from high-ankle sprain surgery and is expected to miss four to six weeks; he sat out Miami's 31-24 loss to Notre Dame, the Hurricanes' first defeat, which dropped them to seventh in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Walter Camp award, established in 1967, is voted on by 138 FBS head coaches and sports information directors.
Five finalists will be named later this month, and the winner announced on Dec. 11. Miami, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, hosts Duke on Nov. 15.
