Oregon football quarterback Dillon Gabriel had a surprising choice for who should win the Heisman if he doesn't win.
—Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel, Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, and Colorado wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter—have arrived in New York City ahead of the trophy presentation ceremony on Saturday."I'm gonna get some heat for this one, but I'm going to say Ashton Jeanty, and I say that because me being at the Group of 5 once, knowing the challenges that come with that," Gabriel told Patrick.
This old man is funny! He’s a better actor than podcaster let’s just say that. Appreciate you having me on 🔥Gabriel got to see Jeanty's dominance this season first-hand, when Oregon played Boise State early in the season in September. During that game, Jeanty carried the ball 25 times for 192 yards and three touchdowns, nearly leading his Broncos to an upset over the Ducks. Oregon pulled off a 37-34 win in one of their closest games of the season.
Though many believe Hunter will receive the Heisman, Jeanty did win the Maxwell Award, an award that is usually won by the eventual Heisman victor., including the Biletnikoff Award for best receiver and Chuck Bednarik Award for top defensive player in college football, but both players are strong contenders for the Heisman.Eva Geitheim is a breaking/trending news writer at Sports Illustrated.
