The winner of the 2025 Davey O’ Brien award, Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza, was in Fort Worth on Monday night for the ceremony. Before accepting the award, he met with our @macengelprof and the Associated Press. Here he discusses the speech he gave after he won the Heisman Trophy, which went viral. #football #indiana #nfl #raiders #heisman

This highlight captures a defining championship moment from the 2026 CFP National Championship. Fernando Mendoza, representing the Indiana Hoosiers football, delivered a legacy-defining play on a high-pressure 4th-and-5 against the Miami Hurricanes football. Known primarily as a poised pocket passer — and the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner — Mendoza stunned the defense by scrambling straight up the middle. Absorbing multiple hits, he fought through contact and lunged toward the pylon for a 12-yard touchdown that pushed Indiana’s lead to 24–14 with just over nine minutes remaining. The moment shifted the game’s momentum for good. The undefeated Hoosiers went on to secure a 27–21 victory, earning the program’s first national title. Mendoza, a former Cal quarterback who grew up in Miami, was named Offensive MVP, solidifying his legacy before turning his focus to the 2026 NFL Draft as a projected top selection. #FernandoMendoza #Hoosiers #NationalChampionship #Heisman #CollegeFootball

“I play like no one believes in me, it’s an underdog mentality for life.” @diego10pavia From JUCO to Heisman finalist, people may try to count him out, but QB Diego Pavia keeps finding ways to shine! Despite Vanderbilt’s College Football Playoff Snub after a 10-2 season, Diego’s explosive play landed him a spot amongst the top ranked players in the country. We had a chance to chop it up with the young @vandyfootball QB and instantly understood why he is one of the biggest names in sports- his energy is high, his heart is full, and he is who he says he is..talks that talk and always ready to walk the walk- his dominant playmaking, undeniable leadership and viral moves on and of the field truly is a pivotal story. Family, faith and football has guided his unlikely journey to a place where he always believed he could be but was never expected to land, tap in now to hear our full conversation streaming on all audio platforms and @youtube now. #nfl #heisman #collegefootball #vanderbilt #nashville #football #pivot #podcast

Cam Newton’s college career is best remembered for his dominant season at Auburn, where he became one of the most impactful players in college football history. After beginning his career at Florida and later transferring to junior college, he arrived at Auburn and immediately transformed the program. What separated Newton in college was his dual-threat dominance. He combined power running with deep-ball ability, overwhelming defenses with size and athleticism. In 2010, he led Auburn to an undefeated season and a national championship while putting up historic numbers both passing and rushing. At his core, Cam Newton’s college run represented takeover ability. He wasn’t just productive — he was the driving force behind a championship team, delivering one of the most memorable single seasons in modern college football. #CamNewton #CollegeFootball #Auburn #Heisman #DualThreat

Diego Pavia had one of the wildest draft stories in recent memory, going from a Heisman finalist to not hearing his name called at all. After finishing runner up in Heisman voting, he made a controversial social media post basically blasting voters, which sparked backlash and raised questions about his maturity. He ended up becoming the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go undrafted, something almost unheard of for a player at that level. What makes it hit is how fast everything flipped. Elite season, national attention, then questions about size, personality, and those posts all stacking up at once, showing how off field perception can affect everything just as much as production.

Joe Burrow’s 2019 at LSU wasn’t just dominance — it was perfection under pressure. He threw for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns, both single-season records, while completing over 76% of his passes against an all-SEC schedule. Week after week, he dismantled top-10 defenses, led LSU to a 15–0 national championship, and capped it with one of the most decisive title game performances ever. The hardware followed: Heisman Trophy (by the largest margin ever), Maxwell, Davey O’Brien, Johnny Unitas, and First-Team All-American. What made it legendary wasn’t just the numbers — it was the calm, the confidence, and the belief that no moment was too big. That season didn’t just define Burrow. It reset the standard. 🔥 #JoeBurrow #LSUFootball #2019Season #Heisman

Being great at something doesn’t always mean it’s your called to do it. Charlie Ward won the Heisman. Led FSU to a national title. And he was a punter his freshman year. But he didn’t get drafted into the NFL. He didn’t chase it. He went to the NBA instead and became a first-round pick. He could have been who the world wanted him to be. Instead he became who he was meant to be. Send this to someone who needs to know the Charlie Ward story. #CharlieWard #Heisman #FSU
