NORMAN — All four of Oklahoma’s quarterbacks are fairly new to the program.

John Mateer , Whitt Newbauer and Jett Niu all played their first seasons with the Sooners in 2025, while true freshman Bowe Bentley enrolled in January.

Even so, the four signal callers have worked together to build a competitive-but-constructive quarterback room.

“It's been a fun room,” Mateer said. “We're all good humans, they're great humans.”

Mateer transferred to Oklahoma from Washington State ahead of the 2025 season. Though his first year in Norman had its ups and downs , he will be the starter again in 2026.

Behind Mateer, Newbauer and Bentley will compete for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. Newbauer appeared in three games last year after transferring from Mercer, while Bentley was a consensus 4-star prospect from the Class of 2026.

Niu will likely be the fourth-string quarterback.…
