Georgia Tech QB Alberto Mendoza One Superpower Could Be Key For The Yellow Jackets Success In 2026
Mendoza leaves Indiana after the Hoosiers chose Josh Hoover, and Georgia Tech hopes his preparation can help the offense in Atlanta.
Former Indiana quarterback Alberto Mendoza joined Georgia Tech this offseason, preparing for the season opener against Colorado in Atlanta.
His departure from Indiana followed the program's decision to bring in Josh Hoover, freeing Mendoza from constant comparisons to his brother, Heisman Trophy-winner Fernando Mendoza.
Georgia Tech coach Brent Key described Mendoza as a "high-level thinker" who "has command of the offense," mastering 20-25 formations and over 50 check plays.
Offensive coordinator George Godsey is refining Mendoza's preparation as Colorado arrives in Atlanta for the season opener in two weeks.
Having not started a game since playing for Miami Columbus in high school, Mendoza now faces the challenge of transitioning to a collegiate starting role.
