Oregon Football Spring Game Preview: How To Watch Dillon Gabriel, Mat Kearney Concert

The Oregon Ducks spring football game is budding with exciting storylines. Saturday, April 27 will be the first public look at quarterback Dillon Gabriel in a Duck uniform, one of the most sought after players from the transfer portal.
Entering 2024, Gabriel is considered a Heisman Trophy contender with the third-best odds to win the prestigious honor. No one has a bigger shot to make an impact on the 2024 Oregon Ducks football team than Gabriel, who has already been compared to former Oregon quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota. Both quarterbacks were raised on the island of Oahu in towns less than an hour from one another. Both are duel-three quarterback that wear No. 8.

FINAL WORD:
"It's hard to recreate a game-like atmosphere,” Lanning told reporters. “But you're at Autzen. What we're able to do that with our spring game with the turnout we get (is close) … I want the fans to have a great experience, and I want our players to have a feel of what it's like on game day."
