Case Keenum’s Legacy: Dillon Gabriel Aims to Break College Football Passing Record

Case Keenum, a veteran NFL quarterback currently with the Houston Texans, is in the spotlight for a different reason this week. His long-standing college football career passing record is under threat from Oklahoma quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Keenum, who played for the University of Houston, has held the record with 19,217 passing yards for 13 years.

Dillon Gabriel, with an extra year of eligibility due to NCAA rules, is poised to challenge Keenum’s record. Gabriel’s performance this season has been impressive, and if he continues at his current pace, he could surpass Keenum’s mark. This potential achievement highlights the enduring legacy of Keenum’s collegiate career.

Keenum’s professional career has seen him play for several teams, including the Houston Texans, where he has had multiple stints. In 2013, he was one of the quarterbacks for the Texans, alongside Matt Schaub and T.J. Yates. His versatility and experience have made him a reliable option in the NFL.

The pursuit of Keenum’s record by Gabriel adds an exciting dimension to the college football season, especially as the College Football Playoff approaches. Whether Gabriel succeeds in breaking the record remains to be seen, but it is clear that Keenum’s achievements continue to inspire and challenge the next generation of quarterbacks).
