In a major move for the Oklahoma Sooners, quarterback John Mateer has announced he will be transferring to the program for the 2024 season. With the departure of senior quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Mateer is set to step into the role of QB1, giving the Sooners a promising signal-caller for the future.
Mateer, who spent his previous seasons at a top-tier program, has compiled impressive stats. Over the course of his career, he has thrown for over 3,500 yards, with 30 touchdowns to just 8 interceptions. This season alone, he completed 65% of his passes for 1,800 yards and 16 touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead an offense efficiently and with precision. His strong arm and ability to read defenses make him an ideal fit for Oklahoma’s high-powered offensive system.
Oklahoma’s head coach, Brent Venables, expressed excitement about the addition, noting that Mateer’s skill set and leadership will be a perfect match for the Sooners as they look to contend for a Big 12 title and a spot in the College Football Playoff next season. With Mateer in the fold, the Sooners are poised to continue their offensive dominance in the 2024 season.
