Gabriel started his journey with OU in 2022 after transferring from the University of Central Florida where he started his football career in 2019.
It is not uncommon to see Gabriel in Nike attire— he partnered with the company after his transfer to OU. Gabriel's partnership is a way he gives back to his high school alma mater in Mililani, Hawaii.
Gabriel's five-year contract with Nike and BLN Sports not only gives him benefits but outfits Mililani High School with uniforms and equipment according to an interview by KHON2's Rob DeMello in Hawaii.
