We love a professional king. 🤩⁣

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza took to socials this morning to announce he’s declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. 👀⁣
⁣
From a barely recruited two-star prospect, to a Heisman Trophy winner and CFP National Champion in the same season. 👏⁣
⁣
Fun fact: Once a player declares for the draft, they forfeit their remaining college eligibility, even if they go undrafted. Not that Mr. Mendoza should be too concerned. Did someone say Vegas? 🎲⁣
