This is Year 3 for Oklahoma State head coach Eric Morris and his quarterback, Drew Mestemaker. In 2024 at North Texas, Mestemaker walked on without a scholarship offer and waited his turn. In 2025 at North Texas, Mestemaker took control. In 2026, Morris and Mestemaker have a trajectory as head coach and quarterback that is as intertwined as any in the country. But he hasn't played a power conference game and at North Texas the Mean Green didn't play a power conference team.
