Alberto Mendoza News, Rumors, Updates - Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Splits time in loss Mendoza completed 13 of 25 passes for 148 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-17 loss to Louisville.

Impact Mendoza split time with Grady Adamson in Georgia Tech's loss to Louisville, and he remained rather lackluster as a passer. The Yellow Jackets' offense once again struggled to find a rhythm, and Adamson was more efficient (albeit less productive) as a passer. There may not be a right answer at quarterback in Atlanta.

In danger of losing starting job Mendoza is in danger of giving up the QB1 role in Atlanta, per Kelly Quinlan of Rivals.com.

Impact Mendoza has been benched for Grady Adamson in two straight games. Georgia Tech, which hosts Louisville on Saturday, will reportedly decide Thursday which quarterback to trot out against the Cardinals. Neither gunslinger has been particularly impressive, but the Yellow Jackets need to switch something up on offense to find a spark.

Benched for second straight week Mendoza completed 16 of 25 passes for 81 yards during Saturday's 34-11 loss against Pittsburgh. He also had 11 rushes for negative eight yards.

Impact Mendoza was pulled from the game amidst a blowout loss for the second straight week. This time, he failed to even hit 100 yards passing, and he coughed up four fumbles, one of which resulted in a turnover. There should be a real quarterback controversy in Atlanta at this point between Mendoza and Grady Adamson.

Benched amidst blowout loss Mendoza completed 17 of 24 passes for 186 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 49-27 loss against Boston College. He also had five rushes for 21 yards.

Impact Mendoza was benched in favor of Grady Adamson during Georgia Tech's blowout loss to Boston College. The gunslinger had yet another uneven day throwing the football, adding another two interceptions to his stat-line. It's unclear at the moment if Georgia Tech will continue to let Adamson take the reins of this offense, or if Mendoza will trot back out there with the starters at Pittsburgh on Halloween.

Best day as a passer yet Mendoza was 29-for-38 passing for 335 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 34-24 defeat versus Virginia Tech. He also had six rushes for -37 yards.

Impact Mendoza's 335 passing yards were a season high, and also the first time he'd surpassed 300 yards passing. His 76.3% completion rate was narrowly lower than his 76.7% from a week ago against Duke. Mendoza has been efficient, but he's not offering much as a runner (-47 rushing yards this year) and he's only scored multiple touchdowns in two of six games this fall.

Solid performance vs. Duke Mendoza was 23-for-30 passing for 218 yards and one touchdown with two carries for 17 yards during Saturday's 28-25 win versus Duke.

Impact Mendoza didn't stuff the stat sheet in the Yellow Jackets' win, but he took care of the football and completed a season-best 76.7% of his passes. The gunslinger will look to stay efficient and mistake-free at Virginia Tech in Week 7.

Solid day not enough to top Stanford Mendoza was 26-for-39 passing for 268 yards, two touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 34-27 defeat versus Stanford. He also had eight rushes for 16 yards.

Impact Mendoza was very solid against the Cardinal and far from the reason why Georgia Tech lost this game. The gunslinger looks to have taken strides the past two games, as in Weeks 3 and 4 he combined to throw for 517 yards, five touchdowns and one interception. He'll look to stay hot against a Duke team that's quite hot itself in Week 6 after a bye.

Career day in easy win Mendoza was 15-for-21 passing for 249 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 44-11 victory over Mercer.

Impact Mendoza was off to something of a shaky start this fall, but there's nothing like an FCS opponent to help you bounce back. The Yellow Jackets destroyed Mercer, and Mendoza was surgical. It was his first multi-touchdown performance of 2026, and he'll look to stay hot as ACC play opens in Week 4 at Stanford, which is a favorable matchup.

Struggles vs. Vols Mendoza was 26-for-40 passing for 221 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 45-24 defeat versus Tennessee. He also had seven rushes for -13 yards.

Impact Mendoza turned it over twice against the Vols after keeping the football safe against Colorado in Week 1, and Georgia Tech was out-classed by Tennessee on Saturday. Mendoza isn't offering much with his legs and he has just one touchdown now through two games.

Shows moxie despite loss Mendoza completed 17 of 23 passes for 237 yards during Thursday's 14-13 loss to Colorado.

Impact Despite the loss, and the fact that Georgia Tech's offense was ineffective for large swaths of their Week 1 loss, Mendoza flashed some legit skill. He didn't find the end zone, but his ability to make off-schedule plays and put the ball on a rope is enticing. The Yellow Jackets need to be able to run the ball in order to operate their offense fluently, however, and Colorado shut their ground game down all night. Next up is another tough matchup against Tennessee in Week 2.
