WATCH: Cuban roots. Miami kid. Spanish in his Heisman speech.
Indiana University quarterback Fernando Mendoza didn’t just make it to the top - he just won the National Championship.
Family, culture, hard work, and opportunity colliding in real time.
This is the American Dream — alive, undeniable, and earned 🏆
Respect.

🏆 Everyone knows I am a diehard @CanesFootball fan, but I am equally proud of Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, a fellow Cuban-American & graduate of my alma mater @ColumbusHS_Mia who has made history tonight.
Our community was winning tonight either way! 🏈🇨🇺🇺🇸🎉
