"Indiana transfer quarterback Alberto Mendoza has signed with Georgia Tech, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. Mendoza, the younger brother of Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, entered the NCAA transfer portal one day after the Hoosiers' College Football Playoff championship victory over Miami and immediately visited and signed with the Yellow Jackets. The 6-foot-2, 207-pound redshirt freshman threw for 286 yards on 75% passing, rushed for 190 yards and scored six total touchdowns with one interception in nine appearances this season."
"Mendoza joins a Yellow Jackets program that must replace senior Haynes King, a 36-game starter and first-team All-ACC performer who accounted for 10,181 total yards and 91 touchdowns over his three seasons in Atlanta. The younger Mendoza's departure from Indiana at the end of the season was expected after the Hoosiers signed TCU transfer quarterback Josh Hoover, ESPN's No. 6-ranked transfer quarterback, earlier this month."
