Mateer, Brown, and Ward all shared WSU's quarterback room in 2023
After winning the starting job for his team during fall camp, Washington State's John Mateer has led the Cougars to a 7-1 start. Mateer has posted some exceptional stats to start the year, including 2,153 passing yards, 18 passing touchdowns as well as 575 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns.
Mateer appeared on the Y-Option podcast this week with Yogi Roth, discussing the Cougars' strong start to the season. Among many other topics, Mateer also discussed his relationships with two former WSU starting quarterbacks he used to share a locker room with: Miami's Cam Ward and San Jose State's Emmett Brown. Both Brown and Ward both transferred following the 2023 season, but Mateer shared his excitement for their success.
"We all text here and there," Mateer stated of his former teammates. "It's been great to see because Emmett left and he really bet on himself. You know, he left walked on in San Jose and earned a scholarship earned a starting job...I'm super proud of him. He's a great friend, great dude to me. We competed, yes, but we both wanted the best for each other every day and I appreciate him. We text often.
"Cam, obviously he's running college football, right? With his celebrations, number one quarterback, I'm super proud of him. Watching his highlights every week is is incredible...I'm proud of him too and his mentorship for me and Emmett have helped us a lot to do so well starting."Joe Londergan joined the SI brand in 2023 with G5 Football Daily.
