Fernando Mendoza's speech after winning the Heisman 👏

Together you and I are rewriting what people think is possible." Fernando Mendoza to his mom after winning the Heisman ❤️

I loved this speech. Humility and recognizing this is a team game amongst individual accolades is refreshing.

Kid's got that quiet killer vibe speech was pure heart.

"Mommy, this is your trophy!" The emotional shoutout to his mom's sacrifice and the message to every overlooked kid was pure class. What a winner! 🏆❤️

Bro’s stocks were already good but now they are stellar

Impossible not to like him as a person 👏🏼

Bro knows how to give a speech

Love this guy. Flippin fernanod!

Congrats Fernando Mendoza. Well deserved and what a great season by Indiana Hoosiers

You folks need to find a moral compass. The kid is good for the sport.

I’ve never followed Indiana football and had never heard of Fernando Mendoza prior to this season, but that is the kind of man we should all get behind and root for! He is the type of role model we should hope all young kids aspire to be’

Such an easy guy to root for! Cal and Indiana hit the jackpot. Here's hoping his NFL career is as good as he is a person

@IndianaFootball I’m a born and raised Hoosier, and I couldn’t be more proud to have my university represented by this young man. Congratulations to the Mendoza family and the entire team, coaches, and administration that put the team together. To all the haters, I never saw him “pose”.

🥹Beautiful loving son- he loves his family and all the people surrounds him. He is a model athlete! This speech alone motivated alot of young kids❤️🏈

He seems like genuine good person! So humble rooting for his success

Well deserved. Easy dude to root for.

I couldn’t be more glad this kid won! What a gracious and elegant speech, pure class!

Eso mero mi Cubanito! SI SE PUDO!!! 🙌🏼🇨🇺 It's so refreshing seeing a genuinely good person win. Fernando Mendoza is genuinely just a good kid haha. Great job by his parents & family raising him 👏🏼

Congrats! Well said! 👏👏👏

One of the best genuine Heisman speeches ever.

If you hate on this dude you’re a weirdo

Strikes me as a highly empathetic young man who is on the spectrum and self motivated. Congrats to him and his loved ones.

Awesome speech! You can feel the love of family- big fan of Fernando

He deserved to win and will be the #1 pick inbthe draft

Transfer portal quarterback with zero Power 5 offers goes 13-0 and wins the Heisman. That underdog narrative will inflate Indiana's playoff odds way beyond what the actual game film justifies.

Best Heisman speech ever
