Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza etched his name into college football history Saturday night by winning the Heisman Trophy award for his performance in the 2025 season.
Mendoza, in his first season in Bloomington, led the Hoosiers to an undefeated 13–0 record and the program’s first Big Ten title since 1945. He beat out the other three finalists who made the trip to New York City in Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia.
