Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Indiana reserve quarterback Alberto Mendoza, the younger brother of Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, entered the transfer portal, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The news came one day after the top-ranked Hoosiers completed a 16-0 season with a 27-21 victory against Miami in the College Football Playoff national championship game.
Alberto Mendoza, a 6-foot-2, 207-pound redshirt freshman, played 102 snaps across nine games during the season. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 286 yards with five touchdowns and one interception and rushed for 190 yards and one score.
His departure was not unexpected after Indiana signed TCU transfer quarterback Josh Hoover earlier this month. Hoover started 31 games for the Horned Frogs and passed for 9,629 yards and 71 TDs from 2022-25.
Players from Indiana and Miami have until Saturday to enter the transfer portal, which is already closed to players from other schools.
