Oklahoma QB John Mateer Confirms Chipotle Injury Leak Was Real

Overview

• In a Nov. 6 On3 interview with J.D. Pickell, Mateer said he told a Chipotle worker he was going to play against Texas.
• He labeled the disclosure his fault and said he has been using DoorDash more to avoid public outings.
• The anecdote first surfaced Sept. 30 on TexAgs, where a poster relayed that a tortilla presser asked about his hand and heard he was "100%" to play.
• Mateer did start the Oct. 11 Red River Rivalry, and Oklahoma lost 23-6 to Texas.
• The episode underscored how an off-site interaction, not team channels, drove a viral update as Oklahoma kept his availability closely held during game week.
