Dillon Gabriel is an American professional football quarterback currently making his mark with the Cleveland Browns in the NFL. He wrapped up an extraordinary college career in 2024 at the University of Oregon, where he earned First-Team All-American honors, was named the Big Ten MVP, and set an FBS record with 155 career touchdown passes across his time at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon. Born on December 28, 2000, in Mililani, Hawaii, he comes from a deeply athletic family—his father, Garrett, was a record-setting quarterback for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors—which heavily inspired his own focus on the position. During his standout high school career at Mililani High School, he etched his name in local history by breaking Tua Tagovailoa's state record for passing yards with 9,848 and threw 105 touchdowns. He began his collegiate journey as a true freshman for UCF in 2019, seizing the starting role after the severe leg injury of his close friend and former teammate, McKenzie Milton. His consistent success and prolific play ultimately led to his selection by the Browns in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
