He’s also a Burlsworth semifinalist and part of the Davey O’Brien Award QB Class of 2026
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker is one of 18 national semifinalists for the 2026 Maxwell Award for the Collegiate Player of the Year, one of 10 semifinalists for the Burlsworth Trophy and one of 30 players in the Davey O'Brien QB Class of 2026, all of which were announced Tuesday.
Mestemaker is one of four Big 12 players who made the cut for the Maxwell Award, which is given annually to the national player of the year, and one of six Big 12 players in the Davey O'Brien QB Class of 2026, which means he is officially a candidate for the 2026 Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.
He is one of four Big 12 players on the list for the Burlsworth Trophy, which he won last season as the nation's best player who began his career as a walk-on.
On the season, Mestemaker ranks No. 1 in the FBS in passings touchdowns (29), No. 1 in points responsible for (204), No. 2 in passing yards (2,962) and No. 2 in total offense per game (348.8).
Mestemaker also ranks No. 1 in the FBS with 48 completions of at least 28 yards and 13 completions of at least 40 yards. He has passed for at least 300 yards in an OSU record eight-straight games and at least 200 yards in 24-straight games, both of which are the longest active streaks in the nation.
Season tickets are sold out to Oklahoma State football games this year, but there are still opportunities to get tickets to see the Cowboys in Stillwater. A small number of single-game tickets remain for the November 28 game against Kansas, but the November 15 game against Texas Tech is sold out.
Tickets are available at www.okstate.com/tickets or by contacting the ticket office at 877-ALL-4-OSU. Fans can still secure their tickets to sold out games through SeatGeek, the official secondary partner of OSU Athletics.
