John Mateer News: Rebuilds throwing motion

Mateer was forced to retrain his throwing motion this offseason after having to change his mechanics last season in the wake of a thumb injury, per Wilson Alexander of On3.

Mateer reportedly couldn't put pressure on the ball with his thumb last fall after he returned to action following surgery, which forced him to adapt to a more sidearm throwing motion. The quarterback, now fully healthy, was forced to relearn his old throwing motion this offseason. He was a completely different quarterback following his injury, tossing for eight touchdowns and eight interceptions in the eight games after he returned. Now himself once again, Mateer will look to lead the Sooners' offense to glory this fall.
