State Farm has now recruited him to be the face of their latest campaign, perfectly capturing his boyish charm and sense of humor. The Vegas Changes a Man State Farm ad showcases Mendoza's wholesome nature, even in the wild city of Sin City. Mendoza and his former head coach, Curt Cignetti, both serve as spokespeople for State Farm. In their Happy Coach ad, Cignetti humorously portrays his unassuming demeanor.
