Fernando Mendoza\u2019s brother made his decision about his playing future after the Indiana Hoosiers<\/a> secured the national championship in a win over the Miami Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

Alberto Mendoza, who was Fernando\u2019s backup during the 2025 season, will enter the NCAA transfer portal. He shared a post from On3<\/a>, confirming the decision. He appeared in nine games this season for the national champions, making 18 completions for 286 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n

He joined Indiana in 2024 when head coach Curt Cignetti took over the team. He only appeared in one game in 2024. Kurtis Rourke was the Hoosiers\u2019 quarterback at the time.<\/p>\n

Fernando Mendoza transferred to Indiana from Cal before the start of the 2025 season. It proved to be one of the best moves of the college football offseason. Alberto Mendoza played a major role in the transfer, according to The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t appear that Alberto Mendoza had a path of winning the starting quarterback job next season. Former\u00a0<\/p>\n

TCU Horned Frog<\/a>s quarterback Josh Hoover committed to Indiana via the transfer portal and his presence will help Indiana reload for a shot at back-to-back championships.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear where he may land. There are still a few schools that will be in the market for a quarterback<\/a> going into the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
