The four finalists for the 2024 Heisman Trophy are Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter, Boise State running back Ashton Jeant

Since his arrival in Eugene less than one year ago, Dillon Gabriel has been a team-first guy. That’s always been his M.O. It’s how the sixth-year quarterback is wired. Willing as he is to share praise with teammates while leading No.

Gabriel’s 3rd place finish is the fifth time that an Oregon Duck has finished in the top five of the Heisman Trophy voting. QB Joey Harrington finished in 4th place in 2001; RB LaMichael James finished 3rd in 2010; QB Bo Nix finished 3rd in 2023, and of course, QB Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy in 2014.

The durable quarterback navigated two transfer portal moves, racked up career records and has the Ducks in the hunt for a national title.

In the 100th anniversary of the Silver Football, winner Dillon Gabriel is perhaps the ultimate embodiment of all that has changed in the college game.

Colorado's Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy Saturday night, with Boise State's Ashton Jeanty finishing second and Oregon's Dillon Gabriel third.

Dillon Gabriel joined an elite group of Oregon Ducks football players this week as a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. Five players have made the trip to New York for the ceremony, and Marcus Mariota stands alone as the only Duck to take home the coveted trophy recognizing the top player in college football.

Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel earned the "Silver Football" award from the Chicago Tribune, given to the player the publication defines as the best in the Big Ten. The Ducks won a conference title in their first year as part of the 18-team league against Penn State.
