Just days before the NFL Draft, Mililani High School alumnus and Heisman Trophy finalist Dillon Gabriel returned to his roots to give back in a major way. On April 22, Gabriel unveiled “The Gabriel Family Training Room,” a newly upgraded athletic training facility outfitted with state-of-the-art fitness equipment through a partnership with Echelon Fitness.

The ribbon cutting ceremony marked the official opening of the enhanced space, now providing current and future Trojan student-athletes access to high-quality training resources similar to those Gabriel used during his collegiate career at UCF, Oklahoma, and Oregon.

Gabriel, who still holds the state record for all-time passing yards, has continued to support his alma mater. Just last year, he donated Nike uniforms for multiple sports and provided football helmets and equipment to the program through his NIL partnerships.

This latest project reflects Gabriel’s ongoing commitment to helping the next generation of athletes from his hometown. In collaboration with Echelon Fitness, the new facility includes top-tier equipment designed to elevate athletic performance and the overall training experience for Mililani students. Additional upgrades such as a fresh coat of paint and deep cleaning were completed to create a more functional and inspiring environment.

As Gabriel prepares for the next chapter in his football journey, his legacy is already making a lasting impact—right back where it all started.
