Oklahoma QB John Mateer’s Post-Surgery Revelation: A Message That Will Inspire You

When your starting quarterback needs hand surgery just as your season’s heating up, it’s enough to make even the toughest Sooner fan wince. Oklahoma’s John Mateer got dealt a serious blow, forcing surgery that cast a shadow over what had been a promising 2025 kickoff. But here’s the kicker — Mateer’s spirits didn’t sag; he bounced back online with an upbeat update, throwing fans a lifeline of hope and keeping that Boomer Sooner fire flickering. Now, with a well-timed bye week ahead and not-so-intimidating opponents looming, could this setback be the rallying point that sparks a deeper grit in the Sooners? We’re all watching, waiting to see if the team’s magic stays alive through this hand injury curveball. LEARN MORE.

Recently, the Oklahoma football program got some brutal news when it was announced that starting quarterback John Mateer would be forced to have surgery on an injury in his hand. The news immediately hung a cloud over what had been a strong start to the 2025 season for the Sooners, although Mateer is expected to still return at some point during the year.

On Thursday, Mateer took to social media to give an optimistic post-surgery update.

“Thank God for a successful procedure. Dr. Shin is the GOAT. BOOMER SOONER!!” wrote Mateer on X, formerly Twitter.

Needless to say, fans in the comment section were thrilled about the positivity from their starting quarterback.

“We are so BACK baby!” wrote one fan.

“Hopefully you didn’t use your thumb to type this! Don’t need any setbacks,” joked another.

“SOONER MAGIC ! Rest up and let’s BEAT TEXAS! BOOMER!” added another fan.

The good news for Oklahoma is that the injury occurred at a relatively weak point in the schedule, as the Sooners have a bye this week before a home game against Kent State. After that is the Red River Rivalry game against a Texas Longhorns team that hasn’t exactly looked dominant so far this year.

Still, amid a start to the season that seemed to (and still might) have so much potential, the John Mateer injury news was certainly a brutal blow. Oklahoma most recenlty knocked off the Auburn Tigers in a thrilling (and controversial) victory in front of their home fans in what marked Tigers quarterback Jackson Arnold’s return to face his old school.

In any case, as previously mentioned, Oklahoma football will enjoy a well-deserved week off this week before returning to their home field to take on Kent State on Saturday, October 4. That game is slated to kick off at 4:00 PM ET.
