Heisman Trophy

FILE - Quarterback Dillon Gabriel (8) throws a pass during the University of Oklahoma's first spring football practice at the Everest Training Center in Norman, Okla., on Tuesday, March 22, 2022. Oklahoma's new quarterback has had plenty of success at the college level. He passed for more than 8,000 yards and 70 touchdowns at Central Florida while leading some of the nation’s most productive offenses. Now, he'll be the starting quarterback for a Sooner program that has produced Heisman winners Jason White, Sam Bradford, Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray at the position in the past 20 years.
