Home/College Football

Well, it’s definitely hard to be a college football player. But nobody talks about how it’s harder for their loved ones. After all, you get to go through the same emotions and that sick feeling in the stomach before every game. Right now, it’s Oregon Ducks QB Dillon Gabriel’s fiancée who had to go that extra mile for her sweetheart. Yes, Zoe Caswell is already struggling with her anxiety. So did she just stay in bed until she felt better? Not at all! Caswell is all geared up to root for her favorite boy, who now has a big role to fulfill, leading the No.1 Ducks as they chase the B1G title.

September 1 has been immensely special for the Ducks fans. After all, their favorite QB, Gabriel, took a long-awaited knee. Dan Lanning’s signal-caller took social media by fire after announcing his engagement with her girlfriend Caswell. The lovey-dovey photoshoot from the riverside in Eugene where Gabriel proposed to Caswell with a ring would immediately make you go, “Awww.” After all, another high school love story came true.

The lovebirds happened to be high school sweethearts. And Caswell chose to be beside Gabriel through his time at UCF, Oklahoma, and now Oregon. So, how could she just leave him alone now? However, things are a bit difficult on her end, as she posted a TikTok video on December 7 right before the Ducks vs. Penn State fight.

The video read, “POV: you throw up from plane anxiety but refuse to miss your fiancé play in the B1G10 championship.” Yes, it looks like Gabriel’s sweetheart is not really a flight person. But poor Caswell! She had no other option than to take a West Coast to East Coast flight from Oregon to Indiana just to cheer her beau. To be there for the games has now become a ritual for her.

During the Oregon vs. Ohio State face-off, Caswell was present in person. Her excitement was evident as she posted a snap of her breakfast before the game and wrote, “It’s gameday baby!!!” By now, Gabriel’s ladylove has created her own fanbase for her game-day fit checks. Can’t wait to see her look this time, as it will be special now that her fiancé is spreading his wings.

Dillon Gabriel set to cement Oregon’s perfect season 

Gabriel is soaring so high that even the rival Penn State HC James Franklin could not stop himself from praising the Ducks QB. “It seems like (Gabriel) has been playing college football for the last ten years,” said the Nittany Lions HC before the Big Ten title game. As per the reports, Lanning’s QB is set to create a new FBS record. On Saturday, Gabriel will make his 62nd start.

Does Zoe Caswell's unwavering support make her the real MVP behind Dillon Gabriel's success?

Have an interesting take?

And with this, he will be breaking the record of the Ducks legend Bo Nix, who had 61 career starts. However, Gabriel fans know how it’s going to be a cakewalk for their favorite player. After all, the young chap, being only 23 years old, has been the NCAA all-time leader in total touchdowns (183) and ranked second in passing touchdowns (149).

Dan Lanning and co. are now counting on Dillon Gabriel to help lead the No.1 Oregon to their first-ever 13-0 record with a win over No. 3 Penn State. With this, earning a first-round bye will come up easily. Is that going to happen? Well, we don’t know that yet. What we know is the QB has already emerged as a legitimate NFL draft prospect and is all set to replace ex-$242 million NFL star Russell Wilson. So, let’s just hope that Zoe Caswell showing up for him is all worth it!
