As first reported by On3, Miami has emerged as a contender in the recruitment of Washington State star QB John Mateer. Oklahoma, the presumptive favorite, will host Mateer in Norman today.

Mateer was among the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation last season. He passed for 3,139 yards and 29 touchdowns while throwing just seven interceptions. Additionally, he led the Cougars in rushing, accumulating 826 yards and scoring 15 touchdowns.

A graduate of Little Elm High School outside of Dallas, TX, Mateer stands 6'1 and weighs 220 pounds. He ranked as a three-star recruit and the 124th quarterback nationwide in the 2022 class. His star has risen since then, as he is currently ranked as the top overall player in the transfer portal.

As noted by on3, Miami is selling the development of Mateer's old Washington State teammate Cam Ward and the quality of his supporting cast. Oklahoma struggled in protection last year (131st nationally in sacks), but has hired Mateer's offensive coordinator (Ben Arbuckle) and QB coach (John Kuceyeski) from Washington State.

Miami had the top offense in the nation last season, racking up an average of 538 yards per game and passing for 360 yards each game.

Wild hearing UNC went after him so hard and actually offered him the most money out of Miami and Oklahoma

Mateer supposedly took less money than what Miami and UNC were offering him

Bill Belichick faced time him and went all out for him

Bill Belichick coaching UNC is something you tell your buddy you had a dream about last night, not something that happens in the real world.

@Rellyrell to respond to your copium post from the other thread; I think the schedule is more set up for failure and there are more missing pieces at Oklahoma. I have no pretense of great success with Mario, but I think even with him in the way, Dawson showcased Ward's skills and would do the same for Mateer.

So not copium, just weighing the pros and cons as objectively as I can.

That probably sealed the deal for Oklahoma.
