The Coach Who Nearly Brought John Mateer, Sooners’ Borderline Superstar QB, to Arkansas

In an alternate universe, Arkansas is home to not one, but two of the SEC’s top quarterbacks.

Divisive as he may be, one of them does reside in the Natural State, as the Razorbacks are led by second-year starter Taylen Green.

The former Boise State transfer opened the 2025 campaign with a bang, albeit against lowly Alabama A&M. In just three quarters of the blowout win, he threw for 322 yards and 6 touchdowns.

Looming matchups with Ole Miss and Notre Dame in the coming weeks will better reveal how much Green has or hasn’t improved in Year 2 under offensive wizard Bobby Petrino, but the other would-be Arkansas-based quarterback will get his first major test this weekend.
