History has been made on Saturday night. Moments ago, Fernando Mendoza was officially named as the 2025 Heisman Trophy winner and no one can argue with the fact that he deserves this. After the Big Ten title win over Ohio State, we all knew what was coming.
As did his mother Elsa, who has been in his corner through the highs and lows of his college career. Mendoza has also been close with his mother due to her recent health struggles, which she opened up about in a recent letter to her son via The Player's Tribune.
