Alberto Mendoza Drawing Positive Reviews at Georgia Tech
After losing starting quarterback Haynes King and backup Aaron Philo after the 2025 season, Georgia Tech targeted and landed Indiana transfer Alberto Mendoza early in the offseason process. The brother of Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza attempted just 24 passes last season, completing 18 for 286 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. Despite his limited action, Georgia Tech head coach Brent Key was confident in his ability, and he hasn't disappointed thus far in Atlanta. "We found a guy that's literally the first in the building every day, will not be beat in the building," Key said. "Once we're done with football in the morning, he goes to class and gets straight A's. He's going to be the last one to leave. It's Saturday, it's Sunday. He's just coming in, 'Hey, can I come hang out? Sit with y'all and listen?' He is ball all day long." Mendoza will be tested early in his starting career in a matchup with Jim Knowles' defense and Tennessee in Week 2, but all reports have been positive out of the program so far.
