Vandegrift's Drew Mestemaker to Transfer to Oklahoma State, Reuniting with Coach

On Jan. 3, 2026, Drew Mestemaker committed to play for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, telling ESPN's Pete Thamel he would join the team to follow Eric Morris.
Citing built relationships, Mestemaker pointed to Coach Morris and Sean Brophy, saying, `To have a coach really be the first person to take a chance on me and trust me, I feel like I owe him that back in some sort.`
He led the FBS in passing yards and touchdowns in 2025 with 4,379 yards and 34 touchdowns, completing 319-of-463 passes for a 68.9% rate and earning American Conference Offensive Player of the Year and the Burlsworth Trophy.
With Oklahoma State coming off a 1-11 season, Mestemaker's arrival is a key first step for Eric Morris's rebuild amid heavy roster turnover.
He has three years of eligibility remaining, offering both immediate and future value; Mestemaker will visit Oklahoma State Cowboys starting Saturday and could boost his 2027 NFL draft potential.
