The Heisman Trophy was awarded to Colorado University’s Travis Hunter, and in many ways he is a justifiable winner. However, Dillon Gabriel, in my opinion, would have been an equally justifiable Heisman pick. After all, it is very difficult to find a more important and pressure-filled position in elite level football than that of the quarterback.
Now only if his team wasn’t top tier and didn’t have to face the highest ranked teams week after week, his stats might have been looked at differently. But for this very non-biased kamaaina, Dillon is a winner. He surely made me proud and I always sang his praises. Better yet, he just seems to be the kind of young man any parent could be proud of.
