Indiana’s Heisman-level, first-overall QB engine
In the 2025 season, Fernando Mendoza was a surgical distributor for Indiana, throwing for 3,535 yards, 41 touchdowns and only 6 interceptions while completing 72.0% of his passes and adding 7 rushing scores in 16 games[13][14]. At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, he pairs prototype size with calm late-game poise, quick processing and enough mobility to punish defenses when the pocket breaks down[6][14]. The big sell: he proved he can carry a title run without playing reckless football—very quarterback, very grown-up, very “please, someone stop this man.”[14][15]
