Miami wouldn't take him as a walk on.
Poetic Justice. Miami wouldn’t even let the local kid Mendoza walk on.

Cal was the only school to give him a scholarship and a shot coming out of high school.

Now, he beat Miami, in Miami, for the National Championship. 🏆🏆🏆

HE’S NOT JUST PLAYING; HE’S WRITING 🏈HISTORY
