But the Ducks weren’t the only team he played for during a six-year college career.
On Saturday, Gabriel will also pay homage to Central Florida and Oklahoma with all three schools represented on his helmet for the Senior Bowl.
Gabriel’s custom helmet will have have the Duck wings on one side, the OU logo for the Sooners on the other and a UCF stripe down the middle.
“That’s not just me trying to be self-promoting, but you ask anyone I was around there and still maintaining great relationships,” Gabriel told ESPNU earlier this week. “I’d be a fool not to celebrate those three spots. They mean a lot to me and are a huge part of me being me.”
