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, allowing Mendoza to escape constant comparisons to his brother, Heisman Trophy-winner Fernando Mendoza.
Georgia Tech coach Brent Key called Mendoza a "high-level thinker" who "has command of the offense," as the quarterback masters 20-25 formations and over 50 check plays.
Offensive coordinator George Godsey is refining Mendoza's preparation with Colorado arriving in Atlanta for the season opener in two weeks.
Having not started a game since his high school days at Miami Columbus, Mendoza now faces the challenge of transitioning to a collegiate starting role.
