EUGENE, Ore. -- The vibe king of college football is in his natural element. He's leaning forward in his chair inside Oregon's quarterback room, fresh out of a Tuesday morning practice with the No. 1 team in the country. Dillon Gabriel feels right at home in this space as he picks through a takeout box of crispy chicken, beef teriyaki, rice and macaroni salad.
"It's everything I thought it would be and more, honestly," Gabriel said of his season with the Ducks.
A six-year journey of quarterbacking across the country has brought him here to chase an unforgettable ending.
