Mendoza Named Big Ten Male Athlete of the Year

Fernando Mendoza, who won the CFP national championship with Indiana and earned the Heisman Trophy, received the prestigious award on Wednesday. He is the sixth student-athlete from Indiana to win the honor, the first since track and field's Derek Drouin in 2013.

Mendoza became only the fourth player in the common draft era to win the Heisman, win a national championship, and then go No. 1 overall in the same season, joining Joe Burrow, Jameis Winston, and Cam Newton. His next challenge will be earning the Raiders' starting quarterback job when Las Vegas' rookies report to training camp on July 23. wlop.pl
