SHOCKING:Quarterback John Mateer Commits to Oklahoma: No. 1 Player in Transfer Portal Joins Sooners After Following WSU Offensive Coordinator
Quarterback John Mateer, widely regarded as the top player in the 2024 college football transfer portal, has announced his commitment to the
University of Oklahoma. The highly coveted signal-caller made the decision after following offensive coordinator Dave Yost, who recently made the move to Oklahoma from Washington State University (WSU).
Mateer, a dynamic dual-threat quarterback with an impressive collegiate career at WSU, had entered the portal earlier this month as one of the most sought-after players in the country.
He became a focal point of several top programs vying for his services, but ultimately chose the Sooners to continue his football journey.
“After much consideration, I’m excited to announce my commitment to Oklahoma,” Mateer said in a statement. “Coach Yost’s offensive vision and the
opportunity to compete at the highest level of college football were major factors in my decision. I’m looking forward to getting to work with the team and contributing to the success of this incredible program.”
Mateer, who set several records during his time at WSU, is known for his strong arm, mobility, and ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground. His
decision to follow Yost, who was instrumental in developing his offensive skills at WSU, signals a new chapter for both the player and the Sooners’ offensive scheme.
Yost, who was hired by Oklahoma earlier this offseason, has long been regarded as one of the top offensive minds in college football. His work with quarterbacks, particularly his development of Mateer,
has earned him a reputation as a coach capable of maximizing a quarterback’s potential. The two are expected to form a dynamic duo as Oklahoma continues to compete for a national championship.
“We are thrilled to welcome John to the Sooner family,” said Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables. “His talent, leadership, and work ethic are exactly
what we need to take our offense to the next level. With Coach Yost leading our offense, I’m confident John will have the opportunity to excel in our system.”
With the addition of Mateer, Oklahoma’s quarterback room is poised for a new era of competition. The Sooners are expected to be one of the top contenders for the Big 12 title next season, with Mateer providing a proven, high-level presence under center. His arrival brings renewed excitement to an already talented roster as the Sooners set their sights on another successful campaign.
Mateer’s commitment to Oklahoma is a major win for both the program and the Sooners’ fanbase, as the team continues to bolster its roster for the upcoming season. Fans can expect to see an explosive offense led by one of the most exciting quarterbacks in college football.
