EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel is one of 50 players on the preseason watch list for the 2024 Walter Camp Player of the Year award, the Walter Camp Football Foundation announced on Monday morning.
Gabriel is one of 20 quarterbacks and one of 41 offensive players on the watch list, and is one of nine players from the Big Ten.
It is the third preseason recognition for Gabriel, who was also named to the Maxwell Award watch list and the 2024 Big Ten Football Preseason Honors list.
Gabriel joined the Ducks this offseason as a sixth-year transfer from Oklahoma, and he enters 2024 in a tie for fourth in NCAA history in career total touchdowns (152) while ranking seventh in total yards (15,925) and eighth in both passing yards (14,865) and passing touchdowns (125). He was a unanimous all-Big 12 first-team selection for the Sooners in 2023, completing 266-of-384 passes for 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns while rushing for 373 yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns.
The 2024 Walter Camp Player of Year watch list will be narrowed to 10 semifinalists in early November, and three finalists will be announced on Nov. 26. The winner will be announced on ESPN’s College Football Awards Show on Dec. 12.
The Ducks will hold their fifth fall practice on Monday afternoon, and will kick off their inaugural season as members of the Big Ten Conference against Idaho on Aug. 31 in Autzen Stadium (4:30 p.m. PT, Big Ten Network). Single-game tickets are on sale now, as well as a two-game mini plan for the Idaho and Boise State (Sept. 7) games. CLICK HERE to select your seats.
