Gabriel’s commitment to Oklahoma follows Caleb Williams’ decision to enter the transfer portal. At Oklahoma, Gabriel reunites with Jeff Lebby, a former UCF offensive coordinator who left the Knights for Ole Miss.
Gabriel only played 3 games of the 2021 season after breaking his clavicle on Sep. 17. As a true freshman in 2019, Gabriel recorded 3,653 yards, 29 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 13 games. He followed that up in 2020 with 3,570 yards, 32 touchdowns and 4 interceptions in 10 games. In 3 games this past season, Gabriel passed for 818 yards, 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.
College football insider Bruce Feldman notes that Gabriel was supposed to begin classes at UCLA on Monday, so it was a last-second decision for Gabriel to flip his transfer commitment.
