  08/31/24 - John Mateer, rSr/2027, Oklahoma, 6-1, 218 (DS#7 QB) + More +

  John Mateer threw five touchdown passes and Washington State began a season of dramatic change in big-play style with a 70-30 win over Portland State on Saturday. Left behind with Oregon State amid the ruins of the Pac-12 collapse, the Cougars are playing an independent schedule, facing mostly Mountain West schools. But Saturday they created 637 yards offense and eight offensive scoring plays of 30 yards or more against the FCS Vikings. It was the first time WSU reached 70 points since 1997 when it scored 77 against Southwestern Louisiana.

Mateer, who had appeared in 12 games over the past two seasons with just 19 total passing attempts, started for WSU, taking over for Cam Ward, who transferred to Miami. Mateer threw TD passes ranging from 30 to 59 yards, starting with Kris Hutson’s diving catch. Mateer added a 40-yard touchdown on a quarterback draw and WSU led 49-17 at halftime. The Cougars had nearly 400 yards offense in the first half. The defense also turned in a big play when Stephen Hall made an interception a few yards deep in the end zone and returned it for officially a school-record 100-yard pick-6. - AP College Football

  03/07/23 - Casey Thompson, rSr/2025, Oklahoma, 6-0, 205 (DS#56 QB) + More +

  Nebraska quarterback Casey Thompson - who started most of last season for the Huskers - will be "limited" in NU's upcoming spring camp, coach Matt Rhule said Monday. Thompson is recovering from offseason surgery on his throwing shoulder after passing for 2,407 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. "We're hoping he'll able to throw, but he'll be pretty limited," Rhule said. "And we'll err on the side of caution with all these guys, right? I don't see him being able to do very much other than potentially, at some point, being able to throw."

Thompson has participated in parts of offseason conditioning, and is part of a large quarterback room that includes Georgia Tech transfer Jeff Sims and four more scholarship players in Chubba Purdy, Logan Smothers, Heinrich Haarberg and Richard Torres. Rhule said Monday that Purdy and Haarberg are among the fastest players on the team according to GPS tracking software. The 6-foot, 195-pound Thompson has a history of injuries - and playing through them. At Texas, he toiled through a broken throwing thumb that didn't fully heal until summer 2022 surgery. During the 2022 season, he suffered elbow nerve damage that kept him out of 2½ games. The shoulder was its own problem. - Lincoln Journal Star

  02/27/23 - Austin Stogner, rSr/2024, Oklahoma, 6-6, 254 (DS#22 TE) + More +

  When Austin Stogner entered the transfer portal on Dec. 5, he knew where he wanted to go. He just didn't know how to get the wheels in motion. The South Carolina tight end wanted to transfer to OU, where he spent the first three years of his college career. A second stint with a program is rare, even in the unpredictable era of the transfer portal, which is why Stogner was hesitant to return to Norman. "I really want to go back to OU, but I think that'd be kinda weird," Brad Stogner recalls his son, Austin, telling him. But Stogner ultimately did commit to OU on Dec. 8, marking the return of the former All-Big 12 second-team honoree.

It's a major addition for the Sooners, and it's one that materialized in a matter of fewer than 24 hours. The Plano, Texas, native joined OU in 2019 as a four-star prospect. ESPN rated Stogner as the No. 2 tight end in his class, and it didn't take long for him to contribute. Stogner had 26 catches for 422 yards and three touchdowns as a sophomore in 2020, which helped him earn a spot on the All-Big 12 second team. Stogner likely would've put up even larger numbers had he not contracted a staph infection following a hit he took in a Week 10 game against Kansas. He lost about 35 pounds and missed all but one of OU's last five games as a result. - Daily Oklahoman

  02/01/23 - Walter Rouse, rSr/2024, Oklahoma, 6-6, 313 (DS#24 OT) + More +

  Walter Rouse was a big late win in the portal, as the Sooners secured his commitment after Rouse had already committed to Nebraska. Bill Bedenbaugh had plenty of success last season in the portal, grabbing McKade Mettauer from Cal and Tyler Guyton from TCU. Rouse fits that mold, and with Anton Harrison and Wanya Morris making the move to the NFL, there will be plenty of opportunity to make a quick impact. - Daily Oklahoman

  01/22/23 - Phil Paea, rSr/2024, Oklahoma, 6-3, 305 (DS#999 DT) + More +

  At the current rate of departures, Utah State might struggle to field a defensive line next season. Since the conclusion of 2022 college football season, seven Aggies defensive lineman have entered the transfer portal, the latest becoming official Wednesday afternoon. One-time Michigan Wolverine Phillip Paea announced on social media that he has entered the transfer portal, following in the footsteps of Tavian Coleman, Daniel Grzesiak (Cincinnati), Patrick Joyner Jr. (Kansas), Aurion Peoples, Addison Trupp and Byron Vaughns.

Paea was a starter at defensive tackle for Utah State to begin last season, though his year was cut short after he tore his ACL in the Aggies' loss to Weber State in early September. In two games played (with a smattering of time against the Wildcats too), Paea recorded two tackles and an interception. As a junior in 2021, the 6-foot-4, 305 pound Paea played in all 14 games for the Mountain West Conference champion Aggies, and finished with 14 tackles, including two tackles for loss. Prior to arriving at Utah State, Paea spent four years at Michigan, where he appeared in three total games, while playing on both the offensive and defensive lines. - Deseret News

  01/15/23 - Walter Rouse, rSr/2024, Oklahoma, 6-6, 313 (DS#24 OT) + More +

  The transfer portal giveth, and the transfer portal taketh away - sometimes with the same player in the span of three days. Walter Rouse, the Stanford offensive tackle who committed to Nebraska on Wednesday, flipped to Oklahoma by Saturday. The 6-foot-6, 318-pounder said this week that NU would "shock the world" in 2023. By the weekend, he'd pulled a shocker himself. "I never knew how the power of one's faith and gut intuition could so forcefully persuade a decision," Rouse wrote on Twitter. "That happened to me this week." - Lincoln Journal Star

  01/07/23 - *Marvin Mims Jr., Jr/2023, Oklahoma, 5-11, 183 (DS#9 WR) + More +

  OU suffered one of its biggest losses of the offseason Friday. Junior wide receiver Marvin Mims announced his decision to declare for the 2023 NFL Draft. He finishes his three-year college career with 2,398 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns on 123 receptions. Mims is ranked in the top 15 in program history for receiving yards (eighth), receiving touchdowns (10th) and receptions (15th). "To my brothers and coaches, thank you for pouring into me and pushing me every day to be the best person I can be on and off the field," Mims said via a statement on Twitter. "Sooner Nation, thank you for making a 17-year-old boy's dreams come true! The endless support and love will never be taken for granted."

Mims has been an impact player for OU since his first season in 2020. The former four-star prospect out of Lone Star High School in Frisco, Texas, racked up a team-high 610 yards on 37 receptions and tied the Big 12 true freshman record of nine touchdowns catches. Mims served as the driving force in OU's passing game this season. He recorded career-highs of 54 receptions and 1,083 receiving yards to go along with six touchdowns. - Daily Oklahoman

  2022 CONFERENCE USA ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM: OL: Febechi Nwaiwu, North Texas,...Nwaiwu had a strong 2022 campaign after redshirting a season ago.

According to Pro Football Focus (PFF) Nwaiwu is the highest graded freshman offensive lineman in Conference USA and ranks among the top-20 among all lineman in the league. In 391 pressure opportunities, Nwaiwu has not allowed a sack and has given up just 11 total pressures this season. - North Texas Football

Elzinga is an accounting major. - Central Michigan Football
