Toby Gerhart Turning Pro, But We Already Had A Hunch

Today, however, he made it official via a statement released by Stanford that he will forgo his fifth and final year of eligibility and turn pro.

The 2009 Doak Walker Award winner, Gerhart rushed for a school record 1,871 yards this past season, led the nation with 28 touchdowns and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting due in large part to a 175-yard rushing average in the Cardinals final four games, highlighted by a 223 yard output against Oregon.
