Analysis: \"Gabriel is a timing and rhythm quarterback who thrives targeting the short and intermediate areas of the field. He is a spot thrower who can pick apart zone defenses when kept clean in the pocket. Gabriel plays with good poise and calmness inside the pocket, stepping up to avoid collapsing edge pressure. He throws a catchable ball with a combination of velocity and touch. Due to his litany of snaps/experience, the game has slowed down for him, and he can play at maximum speed. He is highly effective on RPO play calls, reading defensive leverages, and false steps on the second level. Gabriel's ball placement is a strength of his game; he protects receivers and rarely throws them into incoming defenders or high-traffic areas.\" - Dame Parson of Bleacher Report
By the Beat: \"Gabriel is no stranger to setting records this season. Gabriel is the NCAA all-time leader in total touchdowns (183) while ranking second in passing touchdowns (149), passing yards (18,140) and total yards (19,375). Gabriel is a constant threat with his legs too. Gabriel has scored seven rushing touchdowns this season tied for the most among Big Ten quarterbacks (Will Howard, Ohio State). The transfer quarterback can help lead the No. 1 Ducks to their first-ever 13-0 record with a win over No. 3 Penn State. The Ducks have a chance to win the Big Ten Championship in Oregon's first year in the conference, which earns them a first-round bye in the 12-team College Football Playoff.\" - Bri Amaranthus of SI
