The Cleveland Browns entered their Week 5 matchup in London against the Minnesota Vikings with a new face leading the offense. Rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who was promoted earlier in the week, made his first NFL start in front of an international crowd.

His debut had been one of the most anticipated storylines heading into the weekend, and the former Oregon Ducks standout wasted no time making an impression — throwing a first-quarter touchdown to give Cleveland an early spark. Yet while fans were eager to see how Gabriel performed, it was his fiancée who became an unexpected topic of conversation online.

As Gabriel took the field for his debut, his fiancée, Zo Caswell, began trending across social media and Google searches. Fans curious about the Browns’ new quarterback quickly found themselves learning more about Caswell, who has been by Gabriel’s side since their teenage years in Hawaii.

The couple reconnected in high school and dated throughout his collegiate career, which spanned stints with the UCF Knights, Oklahoma Sooners and Oregon Ducks before he declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

The two got engaged on Sept. 1, 2024, shortly before Gabriel began his rookie season in Cleveland.

Caswell, who has built a notable online following, has long been known for her support of Gabriel through his college and early professional career. Her sudden rise in search trends coincides with the growing national attention surrounding Gabriel, whose play in college — 18,722 passing yards and 155 touchdowns — earned him a spot on the Browns after they selected him 94th overall.

Gabriel’s debut offers hope that he can stabilize a position that has long been in flux. With the Browns entering the game at 1-3, fans are eager to see whether the rookie can turn potential into production and help the team climb the AFC standings.
