Gabriel and Caswell have reportedly known each other since high school and stayed together through Gabriel’s college career at UCF, Oklahoma and Oregon. They got engaged on Sep. 1, 2024, and the quarterback shared the news a few days later via an Instagram post.

Dillon Gabriel played an important role in Oregon’s 13-1 season, helping the team to a Big Ten championship and a CFP appearance. Having completed his final year of eligibility, the 24-year-old declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.

His draft evaluation varies among analysts. However, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. called Gabriel his favorite QB prospect in the class. Though ranked No. 8 at his position, Kiper praised his experience, accuracy, decision-making and rhythm-based style, comparing him to Tua Tagovailoa.

Kiper projects Dillon Gabriel as a Day 3 selection, likely in the fourth or fifth round, based on current draft consensus.
