Overview
Gerhart plays true to his name, or at least the reputation that his brother, Toby (Stanford, Minnesota Vikings) has shown the football world in his short time. Garth is a high-effort, big-motor player who has the frame to compete for a starting position at the next level. He should be taken in the middle rounds and compete to start early at the next level.
Analysis
Strengths
He finishes blocks strong and is an apparent leader up front at the center position. He is a throwback center who finds a way to get a block, whether on the line or linebackers at the next level, and overcomes some small athletic ability issues with effort and football savvy. He is a guy with the type of motor you would want being the center and leader of your line.
Weaknesses
Gerhart is slightly undersized at the position and has to overcome this through a competitive "finish" attitude. He is only an average athlete, and this can be exposed at times when working up to the second level to fit on linebackers.
