While most NFL Draft prospects might be nervously reviewing playbooks or hitting the gym one last time, Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel has found a different way to prepare for the biggest moment of his career.
With the 2025 NFL Draft just around the corner, Gabriel and his fiancée, Zoe Caswell, have escaped to the beautiful beaches of Hawaii for a sun-soaked getaway. Their social media has given fans a glimpse into these peaceful moments before Gabriel’s life changes forever.
NFL Draft Prospect Dillon Gabriel Unwinds with Fiancée on Tropical Vacation
Just days before the NFL Draft, Oregon QB prospect Dillon Gabriel and his fiancée, Zoe Caswell, checked into the Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina, a favorite hideaway for celebrities seeking both luxury and privacy.
Zoe shared their arrival with followers through a cheerful elevator mirror selfie, both of them looking relaxed and happy. She wore a stylish black-and-white dress with a traditional Hawaiian lei draped around her neck, while Dillon kept it casual in a sleeveless tee and shorts. Her simple caption said it all: “Baecation.”
The couple didn’t waste a moment getting into vacation mode. Another Instagram story showed them poolside with friends, toasting with vibrant tropical cocktails garnished with fresh fruit and colorful orchid blossoms.
“Cheers 🥂,” Caswell captioned the moment, perfectly capturing their carefree spirit.
Food seems to be a highlight of their trip. Caswell shared a mouthwatering photo of their dinner at Mina’s Fish House, one of the resort’s top restaurants.
The image showed a beautifully arranged plate featuring glazed pork belly, fresh bok choy, and an artistic swirl of sauce—the kind of meal that makes vacation memories special.
For Gabriel, this Hawaiian trip is more than just a vacation— it’s a homecoming. Raised in Mililani, Hawaii, he was the state’s Gatorade Player of the Year in 2018 and even broke Tua Tagovailoa’s high school passing record.
Football runs deep in his family, with his father, Garrett Gabriel, having played quarterback for the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.
Gabriel and Caswell’s relationship has weathered all the changes in his college career. They met in high school in Hawaii and stayed together through his time at UCF, Oklahoma, and finally Oregon. Their love story reached a new chapter when Gabriel proposed on September 1, 2024, at a scenic riverside spot in Eugene.
After leading Oregon to a remarkable 13-1 season, a Big Ten championship, and a College Football Playoff appearance, Gabriel finished his college career with some impressive stats.

While analysts project him as a Day 3 pick, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. has called Gabriel “my favorite QB prospect in the class,” praising his experience, accuracy, and decision-making.
With the NFL Draft beginning on Thursday from Lambeau Field, this Hawaiian retreat offers Gabriel a moment of peace before the whirlwind begins.
Soon, he’ll know which team will become his new home, but for now, he’s simply enjoying these last moments of calm with the person who has been by his side all along.
