Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is your 2025 Heisman Trophy winner. A well-deserved honor as he led the Hoosiers to the program’s first 13–0 season and the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff while throwing the most touchdown passes in the nation.
Without discounting Mendoza’s incredible year, other Heisman finalists shined in their own right, putting together outstanding campaigns to make a true case for college football’s top honor. Debatably, no player made a Heisman statement better than Notre Dame’s star running back Jeremiyah Love.
