NEW YORK (AP) — Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia and Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin are the finalists for the Heisman Trophy given to the top player in college football.
The Heisman Trophy Trust announced the four finalists Monday night who are invited to New York for the award presentation Saturday night.
Love is fourth in the Bowl Subdivision in yards rushing (1,372), fifth in per-game average (114.33) and third with 18 rushing touchdowns for the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish, who missed out on a College Football Playoff bid and opted not to play in a bowl game.
Mendoza has guided the Hoosiers to their first No. 1 ranking and the top seed in the 12-team CFP bracket, throwing for 2,980 yards and a national-best 33 touchdown passes while also running for six scores.
He is the second Heisman finalist in school history, joining 1989 runner-up Anthony Thompson. Mendoza is the seventh Indiana player to earn a top-10 finish and it marks another first in program history — having back-to-back players in the top 10. Hoosiers quarterback Kurtis Rourke was ninth last year.
Pavia has thrown for a school-record 3,192 yards and 27 touchdowns for the No. 13 Commodores. He is the first Heisman finalist in Vanderbilt history.
Sayin led the Buckeyes to a No. 1 ranking for most of the season, throwing for 3,329 yards while tying for second in the country with 31 TD passes.

CHIBA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 8, 2025--
Seiko Instruments Inc. (President: Yoichi Endo; Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture; hereinafter “SII”) will begin mass production of the “SC-10S” (32.768kHz), the world’s smallest* tuning-fork crystal resonator measuring 1.0 × 0.8mm, starting in April 2026.
*Based on SII research as of November 2025.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251202800779/en/
[Background of Development]
SII has already been mass-producing the “SC-12S” (32.768kHz), one of the world’s smallest tuning-fork crystal resonators at 1.2 × 1.0mm. As wearable devices such as smart rings and smartwatches, as well as IoT devices, continue to become smaller, the electronic components built into these devices are increasingly required to support high-density mounting, low power consumption, and high performance. To meet these needs, SII leveraged its proprietary photolithography technology to develop and mass-produce the world’s smallest tuning-fork crystal resonator, the “SC-10S,” which achieves a 33% reduction in mounting area compared to existing models (1.0 × 0.8 × 0.32mm).
[Main Features]
1. World’s Smallest Size
Using SII’s proprietary photolithography technology, which forms fine patterns on quartz wafers, the SC-10S achieves high-precision processing at the world’s smallest size for a 32.768kHz tuning-fork crystal resonator: 1.0 × 0.8 × 0.32mm.
2. Low ESR (90 kΩ max.)
Miniaturization typically leads to an increase in ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). However, through SII’s proprietary design and manufacturing technologies, the SC-10S maintains a low ESR of 90kΩ max., equivalent to that of existing models.
3. High Shock Resistance and Frequency Stability
The SC-10S ensures excellent frequency stability even in environments subjected to shock or vibration, delivering highly reliable operation.
[Main Applications]
Smart rings, smartwatches, smart tags, hearing aid
Communication modules such as Bluetooth and LPWA
Clock frequency source for RTCs (Real-Time Clocks)
Sub-clock for various microcontrollers
[Production Schedule]
Sample Shipments Begin: December 2025
Mass Production Start: April 2026
