Transfer Portal Ranking: No. 22 OVR | No. 4 QB

The Hoosiers swung for the fences in the transfer portal and hit on Mendoza, who flashed as a sophomore at Cal with 3,004 passing yards and 16 touchdowns with six interceptions in 11 games. Curt Cignetti worked wonders with his last two quarterbacks, turning Jordan McCloud into a star at James Madison and Kurtis Rourke into one of the best quarterbacks in the Big Ten. Indiana hopes Mendoza is a third success story.

“Mendoza has shown to be an excellent passer much like Kurtis Rourke was, but one thing he brings to the offense that Rourke didn’t is the ability to make plays with his legs,” Matt Weaver of Peegs.com said. “By all accounts, Mendoza had a good spring.”
