OU fans love QB John Mateer after unselfish Beats NIL gesture for team

New Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer has had no issue winning over his new teammates since transferring from Washington State this winter.

Mateer was recently one of nine college football players to sign an NIL deal with Beats by Dre, but Mateer's teammates also benefited from his new deal when he gifted them all new headphones after a practice in an epic moment.

Mateer inks new NIL deal with Beats by Dre

Beats by Dre recently signed Mateer alongside other QBs Bryce Underwood (Michigan), Dante Moore (Oregon), DJ Lagway (Florida) and LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina), as well as Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams, Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, Texas defense end Colin Simmons and Georgia running back Nate Frazier.

A new commercial featuring all the college stars was recently released, including Mateer.

Mateer also got a solo commercial that revealed he might be in the same aura tier as NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

This is a situation where NIL was used in the way we all expected -- a popular athlete appearing in commercials with an endorsement deal. It's not just a rich booster throwing money at an athlete so they'll play at their school for one season.

Plus, Mateer did it all right. Football is a team sport, and he knows he needs all those guys in the locker room for success and more of these NIL deals. Mateer paid it forward and surprised all of his teammates with new headphones while using the Sooner Schooner like Santa's sleigh.

Obviously Mateer's teammates were appreciative, but Sooner Nation also loved seeing the gesture from their new star.
