Indiana is currently without a quarterback in the class of 2026.
California-based quarterback Cash Herrera announced Thursday afternoon he has decommitted from IU. Herrera had flipped his commitment from Iowa to Indiana over the summer.
Indiana’s quarterback room for the 2026 season is a bit murky at this point.
Starter Fernando Mendoza has another year of eligibility remaining, but he’s widely expected to be a first round NFL Draft choice next spring. His younger brother Alberto Mendoza will be a redshirt sophomore in 2026. Third-stringer Grant Wilson is in his final year of eligibility. Tyler Cherry and Jacob Bell will both be redshirt freshmen next year.
Herrera is a 3-star and the No. 61 quarterback in the 2026 class based on the industry average. Presumably IU will pursue a new commit in the high school senior class. We’ll keep you up to date on those efforts.
