NORMAN — Star quarterback John Mateer is transferring to OU, the former Washington State quarterback announced on Instagram and Twitter on Wednesday evening.
The move reunites Mateer with first-year offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, who Mateer played for during his breakout redshirt sophomore year with the Cougars in 2024.
The decision ends the recruitment of one of the top quarterbacks in the NCAA transfer portal. Mateer chose the Sooners over Miami. Mateer is expected to become the starting quarterback for an offense that needs a jump start after finishing 121st nationally in total offense, 122nd in passing yards and 95th in points per game.
Mateer is a massive get for Brent Venables, who has now added four transfers from the portal this cycle. Mateer immediately offers OU star power at quarterback heading into its second season in the SEC.
At 6-foot-1 and 219 pounds, Mateer will enter the 2025 season with two years of eligibility remaining.
