Former UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel announced Thursday he has transferred to UCLA. 

Gabriel entered the transfer portal in November, two months after he suffered a fractured clavicle against Louisville. Gabriel tallied 814 yards and nine touchdowns in three games in 2021.

Gabriel was one of college football's most productive quarterbacks in his time at UCF. He threw 70 touchdowns in 26 starts, including a 32-touchdown, four-interception season in 2020. UCF went 10–3 in 2019 with Gabriel under center before posting a 6–4 record last season.
