The Oregon Ducks are going back into the transfer portal market for a quarterback, and they landed a highly talented player with championship aspirations before his college career comes to an end.
Former Oklahoma Sooners’ QB Dillon Gabriel announced that he is transferring to the Oregon Ducks, looking to help Dan Lanning head into the Big Ten in his final year of collegiate eligibility.
Gabriel played for three seasons at UCF before transferring to Oklahoma for the last two years.

For those who are confused about how Gabriel still has eligibility remaining after having played in five seasons already, the former Oklahoma QB utilized a medical redshirt in 2021, giving him an extra sixth year.
Throughout his career, Gabriel has been prolific when it comes to putting up numbers. He’s thrown for almost 15,000 yards in his career, with a 125-26 TD-to-INT ratio in those five seasons. Most recently, Gabriel threw for 3,360 yards 30 TDs, and 6 INTs while also rushing for 12 TDs.
Though Gabriel’s transfer to Oregon puts him in pole position to win the starting job, he will still have to beat out Ty Thompson for the QB1 spot in spring ball.
