Dillon Gabriel was in Eugene playing for the Oregon Ducks for just a year, but it seems as if that one year in the Willamette Valley made quite an impact on him.
In a short message to Oregon Duck fans everyone, Gabriel wanted to express his gratitude on social media.
“Over the past few weeks, I’ve taken some time to reflect on what this year has meant to me, and I’m filled with gratitude and pride,” he said. “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Oregon and Duck Nation for believing in me and your unwavering support through this special season.”
Gabriel led the Ducks through a perfect regular season and their first Big Ten championship in their first season in the conference. The season ended with Oregon’s only defeat, a 41-21 loss in the Rose Bowl to eventual national champion Ohio State.
In his one and only season as a Duck, Gabriel was a Heisman finalist where he completed 73 percent of his passes, threw for a career-high 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns with just six interceptions. He also ran for seven other scores.
Gabriel was also a mentor to sophomore quarterbacks Dante Moore and Austin Novosad where Oregon should see the fruits of that labor in the coming years.
