Former Cal quarterback Fernando Mendoza is transferring to Indiana, ESPN reported Tuesday.
The 6-foot-5, 225-pound sophomore passed for 3,004 yards with 16 touchdowns and six interceptions in 11 games for the Golden Bears in 2024.
Over two seasons at Cal, Mendoza completed 66.5 percent of his passes for 4,712 yards, 30 TDs and 16 picks in 20 games. He also rushed for 197 yards and four scores.
Mendoza will take on Kurtis Rourke in Bloomington. Rourke guided the Hoosiers to the College Football Playoff, where their season ended Friday with a 27-17 first-round loss at Notre Dame.
Mendoza’s younger brother, Alberto, was a linebacker at Indiana this season. He played in one game, completing his only pass attempt for 6 yards in a Sept. 6 win against Western Illinois.
Fernando Mendoza is listed as the No. 4 overall player on the transfer portal by ESPN.
