Overview
- Brent Key said Mendoza would start if a game were today following Saturday's spring game, signaling he tops the depth chart for now.
- Mendoza was named offensive captain for the scrimmage and went 12-of-16 for 148 yards and a touchdown.
- The job remains open into summer, with redshirt freshman Grady Adamson posting 8-of-11 for 104 yards, a touchdown, and a rushing score.
- Georgia Tech offered a clearer path with Haynes King out of eligibility, and Mendoza transferred less than 24 hours after Indiana’s title as the Hoosiers added former TCU quarterback Josh Hoover.
- Mendoza is the younger brother of Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza, who is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick in next week’s NFL draft.
