College Football 2026: Meet the Seven QBs Poised to Rewrite the FBS Playbook
Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State
Mestemaker was the key man for North Texas’ top-ranked offense (45.1-point and 512.4-yard averages) last year. His counting stats were enormous: His 81.8% well-thrown ball rate was one of the handful of best marks in the country for a starting quarterback; his 2.4% pickable pass rate was lovely; and he was even an effective scrambler, averaging 6.7 yards on 23 of those plays.
Most interesting, though, is Mestemaker’s open target rate playing in coach Eric Morris’ offense. Opta data assessed Mestemaker was throwing to an open receiver on 86.7% of his attempts last year. Only five quarterbacks had a higher open target percentage and none of them threw nearly as many passes as Mestemaker.
