奧克拉荷馬大學
梅菲爾德在2014年1月轉學至奧克拉荷馬大學，but had not contacted the Sooner coaching staff. Mayfield further elaborated in an interview with ESPN that he sought to transfer due to scholarship issues and a perception that he had earned the starting position and that further competition was not "really fair". The alleged scholarship issues were denied by Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury.
