John Mateer Check In
The Oklahoma QB Will Be Out After Breaking His Hand, Let’s See if Anything Is Different Through 4 Games

What’s crackin’, folks!
I’m excited to return to prospect reports and have my first re-visit of the 2025 season for you today. Oklahoma’s John Mateer was making a strong Heisman case through the first four games of the season before breaking his throwing hand against Auburn.
He’s already undergone surgery and will miss about a month. That month includes games against Kent State, Texas, South Carolina, and Ole Miss. If those are the only games he misses, Mateer would return for a road game at Tennessee, followed by a trip to Alabama (Oklahoma’s schedule is a gauntlet).
He’s been one of the few highly-rated quarterbacks to live up to the hype so far this season, but the injury will likely derail Oklahoma’s chances to reach the playoffs.
How has Mateer looked in 2025?
Let’s get into it.
