Mendoza Named Big Ten Male Athlete of the Year

Former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza earned the prestigious honor after winning the CFP national championship and Heisman Trophy last season. He became only the fourth player in the common draft era to win the Heisman, national championship, and go No. 1 overall in the same season.

Mendoza, who was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders, is the sixth Indiana student-athlete to receive this award. He'll look to earn the Raiders' starting quarterback job when rookies report to training camp on July 23. goldparty.lat
