Fernando Mendoza Takes Home the Heisman
By Taylor Whitman | Wednesday, December 17
Fernando Mendoza was named the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner on Saturday night, becoming the first player in Indiana football history to earn college football's most prestigious individual award.
The Indiana quarterback received 2,362 points and 643 first-place votes, finishing ahead of Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. Mendoza's season stood out for its consistency and impact, as he led the Hoosiers to an undefeated regular season, a Big Ten championship, and the top seed in the College Football Playoff.
In his first year at Indiana after transferring from California, Mendoza emerged as the focal point of one of the nation's most efficient offenses. The Heisman win capped a week of national recognition and marked a historic moment for the Indiana program.
