John Mateer transferring: 5 possible landing spots for QB
Miami Hurricanes
Mateer sat behind Cam Ward to begin his career at Washington State and could perhaps choose to follow the same path as the 2024 Heisman finalist by transferring to Miami. While Ward posted strong numbers in Pullman, Mario Cristobal and Shannon Dawson got even more out of him in Coral Gables as he put up 4,123 passing yards and 36 touchdowns during the 2024 regular season. Mateer could be capable of those numbers in the same system and his enhanced dual-threat ability would add another element to an already skilled offense. With Ward likely off to the NFL and backup Reese Poffenbarger transferring, the Hurricanes have a hole at the quarterback position going into 2025. Adding Mateer would be a big win for Cristobal and keep a team that was near a playoff berth in the national title conversation in 2025.
