FORT WORTH, Texas (WISH) — The awards keep coming for Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Monday night, the Heisman Trophy winner and national champion was named this year’s Davey O’Brien Award winner, which is given to the top quarterback in college football each year. Mendoza bec omes the first Hoosier to win the esteemed award and just the fifth player in college football history to win the Heisman, O’Brien, and Maxwell awards, plus take home the national championship. The other four on that list are former LSU and current Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Auburn’s Cam Newton, Florida’s Danny Wuerffel and Florida State’s Charlie Ward. The consensus All-American helped the Hoosiers complete a undefeated 16-0 season after defeating Miami for the first college football national championship in program history. En route to the perfect record, Mendoza accumulated 41 passing touchdowns and 48 total touchdowns — both the most of any player in the country this season. He also set single-season program records with those numbers. Now, Mendoza shifts his focus to his future professional career. He talked about that at the O’Brien Award ceremony in Fort Worth. “College is great, but that part’s behind me,” he told the Associated Press. “I feel like I’ve been satisfied with my college career. However, now I’m on to the NFL career. It requires a new skill set. It’s a grown man’s league.” Mendoza is expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, which currently belongs to the Las Vegas Raiders. “I’d be blessed and honored to play for the Raiders, or I’d be blessed to play for any team. Any NFL team that drafts me, I’d be ecstatic,” he said. “I know at the draft, I’ll probably shed a tear or two just because it’s such a full-circle moment for me. … The goal of transferring to Indiana was to make the NFL. It wasn’t to be a great college player. It was to try to develop into being an NFL quarterback one day.” The NFL Draft is set for Thursday, April 23rd in Pittsburgh. ...read more read less
