UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel is proud of his Hawaiian roots, so it made sense that he might want to share where he is from with one of his friends and teammates.
Therefore, when redshirt junior receiver Jaylon Robinson inquired about joining Gabriel on a trip home to the Aloha State, Gabriel was eager to extend an invite.
“I remember sometime in the spring he was like, ‘Man, you’ve got to take me to Hawaii,’ ” recalled Gabriel. “And I was like, ‘We better book now because those flights aren’t cheap.’ ”
“I’m a big traveler, so obviously I couldn’t say, ‘No,’ ” added Robinson, whose travels have taken him to Brazil and Cancún over the years.
