Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel finished third in the 2024 Heisman Trophy voting, with Colorado’s Travis Hunter winning the award on Saturday night at the trophy presentation in New York.
Gabriel received 24 first-place votes, 52 second-place votes and 340 third-place votes for 516 total points. Hunter finished with 2,231 points and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty collected 2,017 votes in the closest Heisman race since 2009.
Gabriel is the fifth Oregon Duck to make New York as a Heisman finalist, joining Joey Harrington (2001), LaMichael James (2010), Marcus Mariota (2014), and Bo Nix (2023). Mariota is the only Heisman winner from Oregon.
The Ducks are the top-seed in the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff and will next play in the Rose Bowl quarterfinal on New Year’s Day against the winner of eight-seed Ohio State and nine-seed Tennessee.
