Now, Fernando is the starting quarterback at Indiana, and he’s headed into the National Championship Game this Monday vs Miami—back in his hometown of Miami. We talk mindset, preparation, pressure, and what it means to come home with everything on the line.

Fernando breaks down why being a QB is “like studying for a final every week,” how visualization became a game-changer, and the weekly film routine that keeps him locked in. We also rewind to his Columbus state championship run, the late recruiting twist that took him from an Ivy League path to the Power 5, and what culture + discipline look like inside a winning locker room.

We also get into today’s NIL + transfer portal reality, the pros and the problems it creates, and how to stay focused when distractions are everywhere.

In this episode:

National Championship week mindset (Indiana vs Miami in Miami)

The QB weekly routine (downs, red zone, 2-minute, and more)

Visualization and staying calm under pressure

Columbus football culture shift + discipline turning a season around

Recruiting during COVID + signing twice
