Impact Mateer is past the throwing-hand issue that affected him last season. That's notable for Oklahoma, as the star signal-caller heads into 2026 after previously needing to retrain his throwing motion during the offseason. Mateer completed 247 of 397 passes for 2,885 yards, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions and rushed 149 times for 431 yards and eight touchdowns across 12 appearances in 2025, leading the Sooners to the CFP.

Rebuilds throwing motion Mateer was forced to retrain his throwing motion this offseason after having to change his mechanics last season in the wake of a thumb injury, per Wilson Alexander of On3.

Impact Mateer reportedly couldn't put pressure on the ball with his thumb last fall after he returned to action following surgery, which forced him to adapt to a more sidearm throwing motion. The quarterback, now fully healthy, was forced to relearn his old throwing motion this offseason. He was a completely different quarterback following his injury, tossing for eight touchdowns and eight interceptions in the eight games after he returned. Now himself once again, Mateer will look to lead the Sooners' offense to glory this fall.
