QB Fernando Mendoza

Should UK go after another portal QB, this is my choice. Mendoza played at Cal, completed 68% of his passes for 3000+ yards(a reminder that UK hasn't had a 3000 yd passer since Hartline 15 years ago), 16 TDs, 6 INTs which doesn't knock your socks off but to watch this guy play is a treat. He's 6'5", probably 220, a RS Jr from Miami whose only offer out of HS was....Yale. He seems to be a great leader, commands the huddle, excellent teammate, hard-nosed who can run but has a really good arm. UK has thought to have offered his #1 WR, think his name is Hunter. Being from Miami makes one think they would have the inside track but there may be some left over hard feelings from his HS days. Anyway, the guy went in the portal Wed, 12/11. Fall back option would be Calzada.

Yeah, I watched Cal play multiple times this year and came away impressed. They largely overachieved year 1 in the ACC and would have had a better year if not for some injuries and a couple bad breaks. He is a good QB

Can he run for his life 1 second after the snap and still read the field while being grabbed by defenders?

I liked the enthusiasm with which he played, thought he was really a good leader. Surprisingly good athlete.

He was sacked 41 times this year, so he's used to it lol

Don't know but thought they were chasing the ex-USC QB who was benched midyear.
