Runner-up Toby Gerhart announced Friday that he will enter the NFL draft instead of staying at Stanford for a fifth season. The only question that this settled was that of whether Gerhart would go pro in football or baseball. He could have stayed for a fifth season because he played just one game in 2007 because of injuries, but opted for the NFL instead. Stanford (8-5) lost the Sun Bowl to Oklahoma, but had many breakthroughs this season led by Gerhart. The Cardinal made it into The Associated Press rankings for the first time in eight years and were in contention for the Pac-10 title. Gerhart ran for a school-record 1,871 yards and a nation-leading 28 touchdowns this past season. He won the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back. With Gerhart in the NFL, Stanford's offense next season will revolve more around quarterback Andrew Luck.
