Indiana backup QB Alberto Mendoza enters transfer portal hours after Hoosiers' CFP victory
"Alberto Mendoza reposted something else on his Instagram Story at roughly the same time - a media report that he plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. A spokesperson for Indiana confirmed to The Athletic that the former three-star recruit has entered the portal. While the transfer portal closed for most players last Friday, players from Indiana and Miami are allowed to enter through Saturday because of their participation in the national title game."
"Fernando Mendoza was the Hoosiers breakout star during their undefeated run to their first-ever national title in football. After transferring to Indiana following two seasons at California, the former two-star recruit completed 72% of his passes for 3,535 yards with 41 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also rushed for seven touchdowns this season, including a spectacular 12-yard scramble on fourth and four with 9:18 left in regulation to help lift Indiana to a 27-21 victory in the championship game."
Alberto Mendoza, the backup quarterback to Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, reposted a tribute graphic and a media report indicating plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal. Indiana confirmed the former three-star recruit has entered the portal; Indiana and Miami players were granted a later window to enter because of national title game participation. Fernando Mendoza led Indiana’s undefeated run, completing 72% of his passes for 3,535 yards, 41 touchdowns and six interceptions, and rushing for seven touchdowns. Fernando is widely expected to enter the NFL draft and could be a No. 1 overall pick for the Las Vegas Raiders. Indiana has added former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover as a potential successor.
