CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati sixth-year senior offensive lineman Gavin Gerhardt has been named to the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, which recognizes college football players who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement.
Gerhardt, who served as a team captain in 2023 and 2024, was also featured on the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team two weeks ago. He is set to anchor the offensive line again in 2025, having started all 12 games at center last year, and he has made 36 starts on the line in his career as a Bearcat. Gerhardt helped pave the way for running back Corey Kiner to rush for over 1,000 yards each of the last two seasons and was a key cog in the fifth-ranked rushing attack in the country in 2023.
Off the field, Gerhardt has volunteered and dedicated his time to several local organizations, including One Bistro, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Rockdale Academy, St. Vincent De Paul, and Recess in the Stadium.
