Dillon Gabriel said something went wrong in Oklahoma…..
The four finalists for the Heisman Trophy award were revealed on Monday.
LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., Oregon quarterback Bo Nix and Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. are up for the award, which’ll be announced at 7 p.m. Saturday.
OU quarterback Dillon Gabriel briefly found himself in the conversation when he led his team to a 7-0 start to the season. But the Sooners lost their next two games, and Gabriel missed the second half of a game against BYU on Nov. 18 due to concussion protocol.
The series of setbacks ultimately derailed Gabriel’s Heisman hopes, and he entered the transfer portal on Monday. Here’s a look at how his numbers hold up against the award’s quarterback finalists.
