Fernando Mendoza reacts to younger brother leaving Indiana for Georgia Tech

Mendoza Family's Next Chapter: Alberto Headed to Georgia Tech Amid Brother Fernando's NFL Dreams

The excitement of the national championship win by the Indiana Hoosiers is still fresh, but for one member of the Mendoza family, the celebration was short-lived. Just hours after the team's thrilling victory over Miami, Alberto Mendoza, Fernando's younger brother and backup quarterback, announced his intention to transfer to Georgia Tech. The news was met with support from Fernando himself, who posted a simple yet heartwarming message on Instagram: "Best QB I know."

Alberto's decision comes as no surprise, given the circumstances surrounding his role in the Hoosiers' lineup. With TCU transfer Josh Hoover vying for the starting job under head coach Curt Cignetti, Alberto faced an uphill climb to reclaim his spot as starter. However, he still has three years of eligibility remaining and will now have a prime opportunity to compete for the starting job at Georgia Tech.

The Yellow Jackets' program has seen significant success over the past two seasons under Brent Key's leadership, and Alberto could be poised to take advantage of this situation. In his limited appearances for the Hoosiers this season, Alberto showed flashes of brilliance, completing 18-of-24 passes for 286 yards and five touchdowns while adding 190 yards on the ground.

While Fernando Mendoza is expected to be a top contender in the NFL draft, Alberto's future remains bright. As he looks to establish himself as a starting quarterback at Georgia Tech, the Mendoza family will be watching with pride. With Fernando off to pursue his NFL dreams, it seems that Alberto is ready to take center stage and make a name for himself in the college football world.
