Dillon Gabriel Projected to Back Up $212 Million Quarterback After NFL Draft

The Oregon Ducks experienced a lot of success in the 2024-25 season. Their first year in the Big Ten couldn't have gone any better.

They finished the regular season undefeated and breezed through Penn State to win the Big Ten Championship.

As a result, they got the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff and a first-round bye.

While the Ducks went on to lose to the Ohio State Buckeyes in their pursuit of a national championship, they had a historic season.

None of it would've been possible without quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

Some college football fans remember Gabriel as the gunslinger from the University of Central Florida. He was one of the most entertaining players in college football and managed to turn some heads.

After attending UCF from 2019 to 2021, Gabriel transferred to Oklahoma from 2022 to 2023 before joining Oregon.

With the Ducks, Gabriel finished the season with plenty of honors, including First-Team All-American, as well as the Big Ten's Most Valuable Player award.

He set some NCAA records in the process, including the career touchdown passes mark with 155, tying Case Keenum for most all time.

Gabriel broke the record for most touchdowns responsible for and finished with 190.
