Gerig commanded Highland Ranch’s offense with poise, tallying 2,500 passing yards on 58% completions and an impressive 28 touchdowns against only three interceptions. He added 240 yards on the ground on 37 carries, punching in nine touchdowns. His ability to strike through the air and contribute with his legs made him a defensive coordinator’s nightmare.

Gerig had a bounce back game after the loss against Chaparral. Against Gateway, he went 5/7 for 106 yards and 3 touchdowns with 2 carries for 28 yards and 1 touchdown on the ground. *He still hasn’t thrown an interception this year* Gerig has a zippy release with a powerful arm allowing him to fit the ball in tight pockets. Gerig showed very good mental processing by going through his progressions, and keeping his eyes downfield while getting pressured. He has good athletic ability to roll out of the pocket and punish defenses with his legs. Gerig isn’t afraid of contact, putting his shoulder pads down to truck through defenders. Gerig has very good accuracy at all 3 levels. Good ball placement too. One that thing really stood out to me was his off-script throws. While he’s getting pressured, he’s can make these awkward throws that are accurate down the field. Could be off his back foot, or a weird body angle. It didn’t matter because he was still accurate while doing so. Gerig is an efficient passer looking to slice up the defenses next week.

Gerig will be a QB to watch as he excels at the deep ball and shows some agility in the pocket as well. He has a unique ability to extend plays and throw strikes down the field while on the move. He is a dynamic player that can quickly turn broken plays into big gains. He will be looking to be a major playmaker this season.
