Dillon Gabriel, the first-team Associated Press All-Big 12 quarterback, has transferred from Oklahoma to Oregon.

He enrolled at Oklahoma in January and participated in spring ball, helping him earn the spot as Gabriel’s backup. Sooners fans have clamored to see more of him, and now they’ll get a full dose of perhaps the next great player at a program that has featured Gabriel, Heisman winners Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, Spencer Rattler and Caleb Williams in recent years.Gabriel has been one of the most productive quarterbacks in FBS history, yet the Sooners have c...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:07:02 GMT
