Dillon Gabriel Finishes Third in Heisman Trophy Voting After Leading Oregon to 13-0 Season

The Oregon quarterback, named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year, reflects on his record-breaking season and prepares for the College Football Playoff.

Dillon Gabriel, Oregon's quarterback, placed third in the 2024 Heisman Trophy voting, behind winner Travis Hunter of Colorado and runner-up Ashton Jeanty of Boise State.
Gabriel's standout senior season included 3,558 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and a 73.2% completion rate, earning him Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors.
Oregon finished the regular season undefeated at 13-0, securing the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff and a spot in the Rose Bowl on January 1.
Gabriel credited his father, former Hawaii quarterback Garret Gabriel, for instilling discipline and support throughout his football journey.
Despite his Heisman loss, Gabriel is projected as a mid-to-late round NFL draft pick, with analysts highlighting his accuracy, experience, and fit for timing-based offensive systems.
