North Texas Mean Green Seek Conference Title Boost Against Charlotte 49ers

On Friday, October 25, 2025, the North Texas Mean Green will look to maintain their position in the American Conference title chase as they take on the Charlotte 49ers in a crucial matchup. The Mean Green (6-1, 2-1 American) are coming off a dominant 55-17 victory over UTSA last week, while the 49ers (1-6, 0-4 American) are reeling, having dropped their last four games.

Freshman quarterback Drew Mestemaker has been the driving force behind the North Texas offense. In seven games this season, he has completed 158 of 237 passes (66.7%) for 1,860 yards and 17 touchdowns, while also rushing for four scores. Last week against UTSA, Mestemaker threw for 277 yards and four touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat abilities.

Charlotte, on the other hand, has struggled to find consistency on offense. Redshirt sophomore Grayson Loftis and redshirt junior Zach Wilcke have shared quarterbacking duties, with mixed results. The 49ers' top receiver, junior Javen Nicholas, has 34 receptions for 354 yards and one touchdown on the season.

With North Texas riding high and Charlotte mired in a four-game losing streak, the Mean Green will look to capitalize on their opponent's woes and stay in the hunt for the American Conference title. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET at Jerry Richardson Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
