After stellar freshman and sophomore seasons with UCF, Dillon Gabriel suffered a season-ending collar bone break during the third game of his junior year in 2021. Sitting out for most of the season, the 20-year-old QB ultimately opted to move on from the program where he began his collegiate career in 2019.
Through just over two seasons with the Knights, Gabriel solidified himself as one of the most electrifying players in college football — logging 8,021 yards, 70 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Before his decision to join the Bruins program, he was the No. 2 ranked quarterback according to 247 Sports’ transfer portal rankings.
Gabriel will replace senior quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who will likely play his final collegiate game in a Holiday Bowl with NC State matchup later this month.
