Quarterback Dillon Gabriel Puts Oklahoma In College Football Playoff Contention

After the 2021 season, quarterback Dillon Gabriel announced he was transferring from the University of Central Florida, where he had started for three years. There was no shortage of suitors even though Gabriel had sustained a fractured clavicle that September and missed the remainder of the season.

That December, Gabriel said he would play for UCLA. But just over two weeks later, he changed his mind and committed to Oklahoma, reuniting with Sooners offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, who had the same role at UCF when Gabriel was there.
