Ohio State had conversations with Dillon Gabriel about becoming its quarterback for the 2024 season before Will Howard transferred to OSU.
Gabriel was one of several quarterbacks Ohio State contacted after it decided to pursue a transfer quarterback this past winter, but the Oklahoma transfer chose to take his talents to Oregon instead.
While Gabriel didn’t want to get into detail about his conversations with other schools during his interview session at Big Ten Media Days on Thursday, he said he considered two other programs in addition to Oregon before announcing his commitment to the Ducks. One of those programs was Ohio State, and Gabriel said he had positive conversations with the Buckeyes.
