Oklahoma's John Mateer looks to rebound in 2026 college football season
Summary

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback John Mateer is anticipated to have a bounce-back season in 2026, as noted by ESPN's Greg McElroy. After a challenging 2025 season, where he completed 62.2% of his passes for 2,885 yards, 14 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions, Mateer returned to Oklahoma instead of pursuing the NFL. Improvements in the offensive lineup, including the addition of new playmakers, are expected to enhance Mateer's performance. McElroy highlighted that with better support, Oklahoma's offense could become a significant threat in the SEC, aiming for a national title.
