Oklahoma State<\/a> has landed their quarterback. Former North Texas<\/a> signal-caller\u00a0Drew Mestemaker<\/a>\u00a0is following Eric Morris<\/a> to the Cowboys after two seasons in Denton via the NCAA Transfer Portal.<\/p>\n

A former walk-on, he played in five games as a freshman at North Texas, including a standout showing in that season\u2019s bowl game, before taking over the starting role as a redshirt freshman this past fall. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder set the college football world on fire with his second act.<\/p>\n

He completed 70.2% of his passes while throwing leading the FBS in passing with 4,129 yards in 12 games. On top of that, he threw for 31 touchdowns to just seven interceptions and was named the American Athletic Conference\u2019s Offensive Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

With his head coach leaving for Oklahoma State, he has opted to enter into free agency. It all led to the Cowboys landing his services, as he\u2019ll continue his impressive rapport with Morris in Stillwater.<\/p>\n

The Austin, Texas native is one of only five freshman in FBS history to throw for 4,000 yards, and now holds multiple single-season passing records for the Mean Green.\u00a0He\u2019ll be hoping for similar results with Oklahoma State in 2026.<\/p>\n

Mestemaker is going to be part of a changing of the guard at Oklahoma State. For the first time since 2004,\u00a0they\u2019ll open the 2026 season without\u00a0Mike Gundy<\/a>\u00a0on the sidelines.<\/p>\n

Morris is at the helm, and the former North Texas leader believes he\u2019ll have a shot to win a title with the Cowboys: Morris made an emphatic plea that\u00a0Oklahoma State\u00a0could certainly win a National Championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is absolutely the most perfect fit for me and my family we could ever think about,\u201d Morris said during his introductory press conference. \u201cAs it relates to the professional, can we win a championship? My answer to that is hell yes we can win a damn championship around here. The next question is how, right? For starters, this place has every advantage. Unbelievable leadership. Top-notch facilities. A passionate fanbase and a storied history.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have top-level support from our boosters and we play in the best football conference in all of America. My job as a coach is to maximize all of those advantages for our program. We\u2019re gonna go out and outwork and out recruit everyone. We\u2019re going to identify the top talent throughout the state and nation to come to Stillwater and be apart of this program.\u201d<\/p>\n
