Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza has made headlines for his work on and off the field. Not only has 22-year-old Fernando led the Hoosiers football team to a landmark season in 2025, earning the school their first Big Ten Championship since 1967, but he's also made it his mission to give back. Fernando and his younger brother Alberto (who also plays football at IU) teamed up to raise money for the National MS Society in support of their mom, Elsa Mendoza.
