Dillon Gabriel to rep the Ducks, Sooners, and Knights at Reese's Senior Bowl

Dillon Gabriel didn't play for the Ducks for long but it didn't take much time for him to capture the hearts of Oregon fans and his teammates. After his singular season in Eugene, Gabriel is heading to the next level and is excited to represent the Ducks as he moves forward, as well as his two other alma maters.

Gabriel transferred to Oregon after playing two seasons for the Oklahoma Sooners, which only took place after his first three seasons of collegiate football which he played with the UCF Knights.

Now, as Gabriel prepares for the upcoming Reese's Senior Bowl, the veteran quarterback is paying homage to all three of his collegiate programs.

Gabriel is set to wear a helmet that features the class Oregon wings on one side, the Oklahoma "OU" logo on the other, and UCF's golden stripe across the top as well as the Knights' logo on the back.

Throughout his season with the Ducks, people couldn't speak highly enough of Gabriel and how important connections are to him. From driving a minivan instead of a sports car so he could fit more players in his vehicle to constantly speaking with former Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota, it became clear that relationships matter a ton to Gabriel.

Gabriel is proving he hasn't forgotten where he started his collegiate journey or anyone who helped him get to where he was with the Ducks. Earlier in the week, Gabriel shared a video that included clips of him playing for all three programs, another tip of his cap to the schools that helped shape him into the player he is today.

Throughout his six-year college career, Gabriel became a star and was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy to cap off his incredible season with the Ducks. Now, he is hoping to do the same at the professional level.
