Fit Fernando Mendoza for a gold jacket now — the Indiana superstar’s teammate, Mikail Kamara, tells TMZ Sports he’s confident the quarterback is destined for greatness at the next level!!
Kamara — the CFP Defensive Player of the Game — gave Mendoza his flowers this week … fresh off their 27-21 win over the Miami Hurricanes.
The defensive end praised Mendoza as a passionate, smart, tough QB … and said whichever team selects him in the 2026 NFL Draft (where he is projected to be No. 1 overall) will have a bright future.
“No matter what teams end up drafting him, they’re going to get, you know, a future Hall of Famer,” Kamara said.
“Someone like him, he’s always gonna continue to get better. I think that something that a lot of people don’t think about when it comes to drafting certain players, like, certain guys can make it to the NFL that’s just good enough, but I just know he loves the game.”
“We haven’t seen the best of Fernando Mendoza yet.”
We also discussed Curt Cignetti, who guided the Hoosiers to a championship in just his second year as head coach in Bloomington — and how NFL teams might be trying to hire him.
Don’t hold your breath — Kamara doesn’t see him leaving anytime soon.
“He’s almost like the Mayor here.”
