#EvoGeneral Spotlight: Dillon Gabriel

Meet Dillon Gabriel and learn what he loves about EvoShield protective gear.

#EvoGeneral Dillon Gabriel, the talented quarterback from Mililani, Hawaii, has been making waves in college football for the last four seasons. As the starting quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners since 2022, he has led the team to many victories while proudly wearing the EvoShield Compression Rib Shirt.

"I would never play a game without the rib shirt," Gabriel said. It's just so functional that it's molded to my body and every movement that I make."

With two Gel-to-Shell® Technology shields, Gabriel's rib shirt offers custom-fit protection to brush off any big hits on the field. The lightweight material is air-activated and custom molds to the player's body shape as it hardens.

"I never feel any hits to the ribs or have pain after games, which is something I was really feeling in high school," Gabriel said. "It's my go-to every game day and something that's a necessity, EvoShield is undefeated."

Gabriel's collegiate career began in 2019 at the University of Central Florida. He boasted an impressive 16-7 record in his first two seasons, earning himself recognition as Second Team All-AAC in 2020. During his time at UCF, he also had the opportunity to participate in the Gasparilla Bowl and Boca Raton Bowl.

In 2022, Gabriel moved to the University of Oklahoma. In his first season with the Sooners, he passed for 3,168 yards, rushed for 315 yards, and accounted for 31 touchdowns. He captivated fans and experts during the 2022 season, which earned him the prestigious title of Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year Award.

Looking ahead to the 2023-2024 season, Gabriel's role on the team is set to grow even further. He was ranked 13 on Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports' top 20 draft-eligible players returning next season. Along with teammate and fellow EvoGeneral Jalil Farooq, Gabriel is expected to be a pivotal piece in Oklahoma's Big 12 title pursuit next season.

Gabriel will continue to dominate the football field and captivate Sooners fans and experts while wearing his EvoShield protective football gear. We are proud to partner with talented athletes like him who embody the values of our brand.
